Active20,458 in stock

Overview

The AQY210SX is a PhotoMOS solid-state relay in a compact 4-pin SOP package, designed for high-voltage switching up to 350V. It functions as a SPST-NO (1 Form A) relay, providing optical isolation between the input LED and the MOSFET output. This component is ideal for applications requiring silent, bounce-free switching with a load current of up to 120 mA.

Why Choose This Part

This photorelay offers a high load voltage rating of 350V in a miniature SOP4 footprint, significantly saving board space compared to traditional mechanical relays. Because it has no moving parts, it eliminates contact bounce and mechanical wear, leading to a much longer operational life in high-cycle applications. It also features a low input drive current of 1.14VDC and low on-resistance for efficient power management.

Applications

Measuring and Testing Equipment
Used in automated test equipment (ATE) for signal switching and routing where high reliability and fast response are required.
Security and Disaster Prevention
Suitable for alarm systems and fire detection interfaces that demand long-term maintenance-free operation.
Industrial Machinery
Acts as a reliable interface for PLC outputs to control low-power actuators or signal indicators.
Telecommunications
Provides isolation and switching for modem and line-switching circuits.

Getting Started

To use the AQY210SX, design a current-limiting circuit for the input LED, typically targeting a forward current below the 50mA maximum. On the output side, ensure the load does not exceed 120mA and 350V, following the provided PCB land pattern for the 4-SOP package. Consider adding a snubber circuit if switching highly inductive loads to prevent voltage spikes.
