PVG613
Description
The PVG613 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a singlepole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace electromechanical relays in many applications. It utilizes International Rectifier’s proprietary HEXFET power MOSFET as the output switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel construction. The output switch is controlled by radiation from a Ga Al As light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. These units exceed the performance capabilities of electromechanical relays in operating life, sensitivity, stable on-resistance, low off-state leakage, miniaturization, insensitivity to magnetic fields and ruggedess. The pact PVG613 is particularly suited for isolated switching of high currents from 12 to 48 Volt AC or DC power sources. Series PVG613 Relays are packaged in a 6-pin, molded DIP package with either thru-hole or surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. It is available in standard plastic shipping tubes or...
