PVU414S-T

The PVU414 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-pole, 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 GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator.

The PVU414 is ideally suited for instrumentation, multiplexing, scanning and data acquisition applications. It offers high operating speed, low thermal offset (EMF) voltage, low and stable on-state resistance and high off-state resistance.

The PVU414 relay is packaged in a 6-pin, molded DIP package with either thru-hole or "gull-wing" surface mount terminals. It is available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Refer to Part Identification information.
