Series PVU414PbF
HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open
0-400V, 140mA AC/DC
General Description
The PVU414 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a sin gle-
pole, normally open solid-state re lay that can replace
electromechani cal re lays in many applications. It util-
izes International Rectier’s proprietary HEXFET®
power MOSFET as the output switch, driven by an
inte grated circuit photovoltaic gen erator of novel
construction. The output switch is con trolled by radia-
tion from a GaAlAs light emit ting diode (LED) which
is optically isolated from the photovol taic generator.
The PVU414 is ideally suited for instrumentation, multi-
plexing, scanning and data acquisition applications. It
offers high operating speed, low thermal offset (EMF)
voltage, low and stable on-state resistance and high
off-state resistance.
The PVU414 relay is packaged in a 6-pin, molded
DIP package with either thru-hole or surface-mount
(gull-wing) termi nals. It is avail able in standard plastic
ship ping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to Part
Identica tion in formation.)
