Industrial Controls
The relays can switch currents in the range of nano-
amps to hundreds of milliamps. The MOSFET
switches are ideal for small signal switching and are
primarily suited for dc or audio frequency applica-
tions.
The LH1518 relays feature a monolithic output die
that minimizes wire bonds and permits easy integra-
tion of high-performance circuits such as current lim-
iting in normally-open switches. The output die
integrates the photodiode receptor array, turn-on and
turn-off control circuitry, and the MOSFET switches.
The optically-coupled input is controlled by a highly
efficient GaAlAs infrared LED.
Description
Vishay Solid State Relays (SSRs) are miniature, opti-
cally- coupled relays with high-voltage MOSFET out-
puts. The LH1518 relays are capable of switching AC
or DC loads from as little as nanovolts to hundreds of
volts.

VISHAY
Stresses in excess of the absolute Maximum Ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is
not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
Maximum Ratings for extended periods of time can adversely affect reliability.
