International Rectifier Introduces Sub-Ohm On-Resistance Microelectronic Relay to Enhance Automated Test System Reliability and Performance.EL SEGUNDO El Segundo (ĕl sēgŭn`dō), industrial city (1990 pop. 15,223), Los Angeles co., S Calif., on Santa Monica Bay; inc. 1917. Its products include navigation and computer systems, aircraft parts, office machines, telephone apparatus, and , 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 the PVY PVY Potato Virus Y PVY Presion Venosa Yugular (Spanish: Jugular Venous Pressure ) 117 Series microelectronic relay (MER mer Among the Cheremi and Udmurt peoples of Russia, a sacred grove where people of several villages gathered periodically to hold religious festivals and sacrifice animals to nature gods. ). The new devices are designed to increase product reliability by replacing 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). and reed relays that have fragile moving parts and metallic contacts with more reliable, solid-state relays that have no moving parts. In addition, MERs have lower power consumption than electromechanical relays since they have lower actuation current requirements, and the PVY117 Series MERs are much smaller compared to the electromechanical relays they are designed to replace. The new MERs feature bounce-free operation. Their low on-state contact resistance and low off-state capacitance maximize performance in low voltage and high test frequency semiconductor automated test equipment (ATE) and other instrumentation circuits. Other applications include low voltage audio and RF switching. "The new MERs are designed to increase end-product reliability and operational life, since the solid-state construction eliminates contacts that wear out," said Andy Serkuczewski, International Rectifier Director of Product Management, Microelectronic Relays. "In addition, the PVY117 is housed in a subminiature sub·min·i·a·ture adj. Smaller than miniature; exceedingly small. , surface-mountable package for high-density applications," Serkuczewski continued. Data sheets are posted on the International Rectifier Web site: PVY117: http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/pvy117.pdf Data sheets for the PVY117 series, and a reliability report, are available on the International Rectifier Web site, www.irf.com Availability and Pricing The new PVY117 and PVY17-T (tape and reel) are available immediately. Pricing is US $2.75 each for the PVY117 and US $2.80 each for the PVY117-T, both in 10,000-unit quantities. Prices are subject to change.
