Series PVG612A & PbF
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET® P ower MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-60V , 2.0A AC/ 4.0 A DC
General Description
The PVG612A Series Photovoltaic Relay is a singlepole, 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.
These units exceed the performance capabilities of
electromechanical relays in operating life, sensitivity, stability of on-resistance, miniaturization, insensitivity to magnetic fields and ruggedess. The compact PVG612A is particularly suited for isolated
switching of high currents from 12 to 48 Volt AC or
DC power sources.
Series PVG612A 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 plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel.
Please refer to Part Identification information opposite.
