Series PVY117

The PVY117 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a singlepole,normally-open solid-state relay that can replace dry and Mercury-wetted reed 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.

Features of the PVY117 Series are:(1)low signal distortion at high frequencies; (2)low coff * ron figure of merit; (3)high off-state resistance; (4)1,500 vrms i/o isolation; (5)long operational life; (6)solid-state reliability; (7)ESD tolerance 2000V human body model.

The absolute maximum ratings of the PVY117 Series can be summarized as:(1): dielectric strength, input to output (VRMS ) is 1500 V min; (2): CI-O (input to output capacitance,Vd = 0V, f = 1MHz)( pF) is. 0.8 typ; (3): max. pin soldering temperature (10 seconds max.) is +260oC  max; (4): operating ambient temperature range is  -40oC min and +85oC max; (5): storage ambient temperature range is  -40oC  min and +100oC max.
