Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open,
0-400V, 240mA AC / 360mA DC
General Description
The PVT412A 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 construction. The
output switch is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs
light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from
the photovoltaic generator.
These SSRs are specifically designed for industrial
control and peripheral telecom applications.
Series PVT412A Relays are packaged in a 6-lead
molded DIP package with either thru-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
