The PVG612PBF is a HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay with SPST-NO contact and through hole terminals. This PVG612-series relay features high load current capacity and high off-state resistance. Linear AC/DC operation. 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 ruggedness. The compact PVG612A is particularly suited for isolated switching of high currents from 12 to 48VAC or DC power sources.
