Series PVU414
HEX.ET
Power MOS.ET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open
0-400V, 140mA AC/DC
General Description
The PVU414 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-
pole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace
electromechanical relays in many applications. It util-
izes International Rectifier's proprietary HEXFET
power MOSFET as the output switch, driven by an
integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel con-
struction. The output switch is controlled by radiation
from a GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) which is op-
tically isolated from the photovoltaic generator.
The PVU414 is ideally suited for instrumentation, mul-
tiplexing, scanning and data acquisition applications.
It offers high operating speed, low thermal offset (EMF)
voltage, low and stable on-state resistance and high
off-state resistance.
The PVU414 relay is packaged in a 6-pin, molded
DIP package with either through-hole or surface-
mount (gull-wing) terminals. It is available in stan-
dard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel.
Please refer to Part Identification information.)
