It utilizes International Rectifier’s HEXFET power MOSFETs as the output switches, 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. 500mΩ On-Resistance ■ Bounce-free Operation ■ 1.0 Amp capacity ■ 4000 VRMS I/O isolation ■ Solid-State reliability ■ UL recognition and CSA certification pending ■ These units overcome the limitations of both electromechanical and reed relays by offering the solid-state advantages of high sensitivity, miniaturization, no contact bounce, long operational life, insensitivity to external magnetic fields, shock and vibration, and high reliability inherent with solid state technology. They are ideally suited for switching high currents or low level signals without distortion or injection of electrical noise. These relays are packaged in 8-pin, molded DIP packages and available with thru-hole and SMT (gull-wing) leads, in plastic shipping tubes.
