International Rectifier Introduces Improved Electronic Relay for Telecom, Instrumentation and Industrial Control Applications.Technology Writers EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 7, 2003 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 ), today introduces the PVT412A Series microelectronic relays (MERs). The new relays have two times more load current capability at 400V off-state blocking with less than one-quarter device on-resistance than the earlier PVT412 Series MERs. This means that the new PVT412A series relays are more efficient and robust than the previous devices. The new MERs can replace electromechanical The use of electricity to run moving parts. Disk drives, printers and motors are examples. Electromechanical systems must be designed for the eventual deterioration of moving components that wear over time. The first TVs were electromechanical systems (see video/TV history). relays, enabling significant gains in operational life and reliability over electromechanical relays, with smaller size and higher sensitivity. Other benefits include bounce-free (noiseless noise·less adj. Making or marked by no noise. See Synonyms at still1. noise  less·ly adv. ) switching, reduced power consumption through lower actuation currents and high levels of immunity to shock and vibration. Typical applications for the PVT412A Series devices include on/off hookswitch, ringer injection, ground start and general switching. In addition to telecom applications, the PVT412A devices can replace electromechanical and reed relays in applications where high reliability and low on-resistance is required, such as remote utility metering and high voltage AC and DC industrial load switching. The devices are rated for 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. load switching applications up to 240VAC (Volts Alternating Current) See volt and AC. rms and 300VDC VDC Volts Direct Current VDC Venture Development Corporation VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC Village Development Committee (Nepal) VDC Virtual Data Center VdC Verband der Cigarettenindustrie at 240mA, and DC-only loads up to 300V at 360mA. In addition, the 4,000VAC rms input-to-output isolation rating meets the most stringent international electrical safety requirements. A data sheet for the new PVT412A MERs is posted on the IR Web site: http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/pvt412a.pdf Availability and Pricing The new microelectronic relays are available immediately. Pricing is as follows: PVT412A, US $2.00 each, PVT412AS, US $2.03 each and the PVT412AS-T, US $2.08 each in 10,000-unit quantities.
