Series PVT412APbF
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open,
0-400V, 240mA AC / 360mA DC
General Description
The PVT412A 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 radiation from a GaAlAs
light emit ting diode (LED) which is optically isolated
from the photovol taic generator.
These SSRs are specically designed for industrial
control and peripheral tele com applications.
Series PVT412A Relays are packaged in a 6-lead
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
.
Applications
Control of AC power line
(up to 240 VAC) industrial loads
Control of DC industrial loads
up to +/-300 VDC
On/Off hook switch
