Series PVG613

Microelectronic Power IC

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

General Description

The PVG613 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-

pole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace

electromechanical relays in many applications. It util-

izes 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 ra-

diation 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, sensitiv-

ity, stable on-resistance, low off-state leakage, minia-

turization, insensitivity to magnetic fields and

ruggedess. The compact 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 plas-

tic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to
