Active7,438 in stock

Overview

The AQH2223 is a compact solid-state photo-coupled relay (photorelay) in an 8-DIP package designed for AC load switching up to 600V. It features zero-cross circuitry to minimize electrical noise during switching and can handle a continuous load current of 900 mA.

Why Choose This Part

The integrated zero-cross function reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and inrush current, extending the lifespan of connected loads. Its solid-state design eliminates contact bounce and mechanical wear, providing higher reliability than traditional electromechanical relays in high-cycle applications.

Applications

Home Appliances
Control of AC loads in air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines.
Industrial Equipment
Interfacing between low-voltage logic and high-voltage AC heaters or solenoids.
Lighting Control
Quiet and reliable switching for building automation and smart lighting systems.
