IXYS Integrated Circuits Division Introduces New 250V 1-Form-A Solid State Relay

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division (ICD), Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ: IXYS), announced the immediate availability of the CPC1010N, 250V, single-pole, normally open (1-Form-A) Solid State Relay (SSR) with a 170mA load current rating. The CPC1010N is specially designed to provide the best combination of performance, size and price.

Packaged in a 4-pin SOP, the CPC1010N employs optically coupled MOSFET technology to provide 1500Vrms of input to output isolation. The efficient MOSFET switches and photovoltaic die use IXYS Integrated Circuits Division’s patented OptoMOS architecture while the optically coupled output is controlled by a highly efficient infrared LED.

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division’s state of the art double-molded vertical construction packaging makes the CPC1010N one of the world’s smallest relays and offers board space savings over the competitor’s larger 4-pin SOP relay. Additional features include low drive power requirements, high reliability, arc-free with no snubbing circuits, and no EMI/RFI generation. The CPC1010N is designed to replace, and offers superior reliability over, electromechanical relays.

The 250 volt load voltage rating, 170mA load current rating and 11.5 Ohms of on-resistance makes this device suitable for industrial applications, instrumentation, multiplexers, data acquisition, and electronic switching.

Approvals include: UL Recognized Component: File E76270, CSA Certified Component: Certificate 1172007, EN/IEC 60950-1 Certified Component: TUV Certificate B 13 12 82667 003
