International Rectifier Introduces 20V Microelectronic Power IC Photovoltaic Relays with 50 Percent Lower On-State Resistance.EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- International Rectifier, IR(R) (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :IRF IRF Interferon Regulatory Factor IRF International Religious Freedom IRF Institut for Rationel Farmakoterapi (German) IRF Inherited Rights Filter (Novell) IRF Inherited Rights Filter ), a world leader in power management technology, today introduced a series of photovoltaic relays for applications including computers and computer peripherals, power supplies and power distribution, audio equipment, and instrumentation. Compared to its predecessor, the PVN (Private Virtual Network) See VPN. 012A family offers a 50 percent reduction of AC/DC AC/DC adj. Slang Having a bisexual orientation. [From the likening of a bisexual person to an appliance that works on either alternating or direct current. on-state resistance (RDD-on) and 37.5 percent increase of maximum AC/DC load current rating at full (100%) duty cycle. The new series is also rated for maximum pulsed (surge) load current. "With extremely low on-resistance and high volumetric volumetric /vol·u·met·ric/ (vol?u-met´rik) pertaining to or accompanied by measurement in volumes. vol·u·met·ric adj. Of or relating to measurement by volume. load current density in such a small package, the PVN012A family exceeds the performance capabilities of traditional electromechanical relays," said Andy Serkuczewski, product manager, Energy-Saving Products. When compared to traditional electromechanical relays, the PVN012A family offers a smaller footprint, high input-to-output isolation, bounce-free operation, solid-state reliability, stable on-resistance over life, and greater input sensitivity. These new 20V single-pole, normally open, solid state relays utilize a HEXFET HEXFET Hexagonal Field Effect Transistor (R) MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) The most popular and widely used type of field effect transistor (see FET). MOSFETs are either NMOS (n-channel) or PMOS (p-channel) transistors, which are fabricated as individually packaged output switch, driven by a unique integrated photovoltaic generator circuit. The output switch is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light-emitting diode (LED) that is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. The new series is available in 6-pin DIP, 6-pin SMT (1) (Surface Mount Technology) See surface mount. (2) (Station ManagemenT) An FDDI network management protocol that provides direct management. Only one node requires the software. SMT - Station Management , and in tape and reel. Data sheets and additional information on the PVN012A family can be found on the Web at http://www.irf.com/whats-new/nr060920.html. Availability and Pricing All in 10,000 unit quantities, pricing begins at US $3.59 each for the PVN012APbF, $3.62 for the PVN012ASPbF and $3.67 for the PVN012AS-TPbF. Production orders are available immediately. The devices are RoHS compliant. Prices are subject to change.
