Series PVN013PbF

Microelectronic Power IC

Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-20V, 2.5A AC/ 4.5A DC

General Description

The PVN013 Series Photovoltaic Relay at 100

milliohms features the lowest possible on-state

resistance in a miniature package — lower than a

comparable reed relay.

The PVN013 is a single-pole, normally open solid-

state relay. It utilizes a GenerationV HEXFET output

switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic

generator of novel construction. The output switch

is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emit-

ting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the

photovoltaic generator.

These units exceed the performance capabilities of

electromechanical relays in life, sensitivity, stable

on-resistance, low off-state leakage, miniaturization,

magnetic insensitivity and ruggedness. They are ide-

ally suited for switching high currents or low level sig-

nals without distortion or injection of electrical noise.

Series PVN013 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

tape-and-reel. Please refer to part identification in-

formation opposite.
