Data Sheet No. PD 10064 revC Series PVN012APbF Microelectronic Power IC HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-20V, 4.0A AC/ 6.0A DC General Description The PVN012A Series Photovoltaic Relay at 50 milliohms features the lowest possible on-state resistance in a miniature package — lower than a comparable reed relay. The PVN012A is a single-pole, normally open solidstate relay. It utilizes a HEXFET® MOSFET output switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel construction. The output switch is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. These units exceed the performance capabilities of electromechanical relays in life, sensitivity, stable onresistance, miniaturization, magnetic insensitivity and ruggedness. They are ideally suited for switching high currents or low level signals without distortion or injection of electrical noise. Series PVN012A relays are packaged in a 6-lead molded DIP package with either thru-hole or surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. They are available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tapeand- reel. Please refer to part identification information.
