Vishay Launches 5A Solid-State Relays
Vishay Introduces High-Current Solid-State Relays in Compact SOP-4 Package for Industrial Applications
Vishay Intertechnology, a global leader in discrete semiconductors and passive electronic components, has announced the release of two new industrial-grade 1 Form A solid-state relays (SSRs) housed in the space-efficient surface-mount SOP-4 package. The Vishay Semiconductors VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T offer high continuous load current ratings of 550 mA and 5 A, respectively, combined with load voltage capabilities of 60 V and 30 V. Both relays feature a high isolation voltage of 3750 VRMS and an exceptionally low typical leakage current of less than 1 µA.
With their impressive current handling capabilities, these newly released devices are ideally suited for replacing traditional electromechanical relays (EMRs). EMRs are known to be susceptible to damage from vibrations, a common issue in many industrial environments. By utilizing these contactless optical solid-state relays, designers can achieve robust and vibration-proof switching, leading to significantly enhanced reliability and a longer operational service life for their equipment. Furthermore, the high isolation voltage provided by the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T allows them to be safely deployed in harsh industrial environments where electrical isolation is critical.
The VO1401AEFTR offers typical turn-on and turn-off times of 1.3 milliseconds (ms) and 0.15 ms, respectively, while the VOR1003M4T provides even faster switching with typical turn-on and turn-off times of 0.5 ms and 0.1 ms. These rapid switching characteristics make the relays excellent choices for a wide range of applications, including industrial automation systems and controls, sophisticated security systems, sensitive medical instrumentation, and professional broadcasting equipment. In these diverse applications, the compact SOP-4 package of the Vishay SSRs contributes to significant board space savings, a crucial factor in densely populated electronic designs. Additionally, their ultra-low leakage current translates into higher overall system efficiency by ensuring that the sensitive load on the output side remains reliably turned off when the relay is in its off state.
Samples and production quantities of both the VO1401AEFTR and VOR1003M4T solid-state relays are available for order now, with standard lead times of approximately four weeks.
