Overview

The Panasonic AQW210EH is a dual-channel Photo-Coupled Relay (Photorelay) featuring two independent SPST-NO (1 Form A) circuits in a single 8-DIP package. It is designed for switching AC and DC loads up to 350V and 120mA, offering high isolation and low off-state leakage current. This device is suitable for applications requiring reliable, isolated switching of low-level analog signals.

Why Choose This Part

This photorelay offers a high I/O isolation voltage of 5,000V, ensuring excellent electrical separation between control and load circuits. Its dual 1 Form A configuration allows for flexible use as two independent switches or as a single 2 Form A setup. The device provides high sensitivity, fast response, and a low off-state leakage current of max. 1 uA, making it suitable for precise control of low-level analog signals.
