General Description

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

emitting 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, miniaturization,

magnetic insensitivity and ruggedness. They are

ideally suited for switching high currents or low level

signals without distortion or injection of electrical

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

information opposite.
