General Description

The PVX6012 Photovoltaic Relay is a single-pole,

normally open solid-state relay that can replace

electromechanical relays in many applications. It

utilizes an IGBT 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 PVX6012 is ideally suited for switching medium

power loads. It offers high operating speed, low and

stable on-state voltage drop as well as low off-state

leakage current.

PVX6012 relays are packaged in a 14-pin, molded

DIP package in thru-hole. It is available in standard

plastic shipping tubes.
