The PD1201 is an AC Solid State Switch using optical

coupling with dual power SCR outputs to produce an

alternative to optocoupler and Triac circuits. The

PD1201 switches are robust enough to provide a

blocking voltage of up to 400V

current rating of 20A. In addition, tightly controlled

zero-cross circuitry ensures switching of AC loads

without the generation of transients. The input and

output circuits are optically coupled to provide

3750V

control and load circuits. As a result the PD1201

is well suited for industrial environments where

electromagnetic interference would disrupt the

operation of electromechanical relays.
