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
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.
The PVU414 is ideally suited for instrumentation,
multiplexing, 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 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.
