20V 1 Form A Photo Voltaic Relay In A 6-pin DIP Package

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, miniaturiza- tion, magnetic insensitivity and ruggedness. They are ideally suited for switching high currents or low level signals without distortion or injection of elec- trical 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. By International Rectifier Corp.
