PD 1.035A

Series PVG612

Microelectronic

Power IC Relay

Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-60V, 1.0A AC/ 2.0 A DC

General Description

The PVG612 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-

pole, normally open solid-state relay that can

replace electromechanical relays in many applica-

tions. It utilizes International Rectifier’s proprietary

HEXFET power MOSFET as the output switch,

driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic gen-

erator 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.

These units exceed the performance capabilities of

electromechanical relays in operating life, sensitivity,

stability of on-resistance, miniaturization, insensitiv-

ity to magnetic fields and ruggedess. The compact

PVG612 is particularly suited for isolated switching

of high currents from 12 to 48 Volt AC or DC power

sources.

Series PVG612 Relays are packaged in a 6-pin,

molded DIP package with either through-hole or

surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. It is available in

standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel.
