Solid State Photo-Coupled Relay (Photorelay) SPST-NO (1 Form A) 4-SMD (0.300", 7.62mm)
Active14,508 in stock

Overview

The AQY212GHAX is a high-capacity PhotoMOS solid-state relay in a compact 4-pin surface-mount DIP package. It functions as a SPST-NO (1 Form A) switch capable of handling load currents up to 1.1A and load voltages up to 60V AC/DC. This photorelay provides high I/O isolation and is designed as a reliable alternative to traditional mechanical or mercury relays in signal and power switching circuits.

Why Choose This Part

This device offers a high 1.1A load current capacity in a compact form factor while maintaining a very low typical operate current of 1.1mA. It features excellent isolation properties and eliminates the contact bounce and mechanical wear associated with traditional relays, ensuring a long operational lifespan. The 4-SMD package is optimized for automated assembly and space-constrained PCB layouts.

Applications

Measuring Instruments
Used in automated test equipment (ATE) and precision data acquisition systems requiring low leakage and high reliability.
Security and Fire Systems
Ideal for disaster-prevention systems where high insulation and silent, vibration-resistant switching are required.
Industrial Control Systems
Acting as an interface between low-power logic and high-power peripherals such as solenoids or small motors.
Telecommunications
Utilized in signal switching and line termination where mechanical wear must be avoided.

Getting Started

To drive the input LED, calculate the series resistor value based on a 1.14V typical forward voltage and your logic level (e.g., 3.3V or 5V), ensuring current exceeds the 1.1mA operate threshold. Use standard SMD reflow soldering profiles as specified for the 4-SMD gull-wing package. Ensure the load remains within the 60V, 1.1A absolute maximum ratings to prevent thermal damage.
