The CPC1218 is a miniature voltage-controlled,
single-pole, normally open (1-Form-A) Solid State
Relay in a 4-pin Single In-line Package (SIP) that
employs optically coupled MOSFET technology to
provide 2500Vrms of input to output isolation. The
super efficient MOSFET switches and photovoltaic
die use IXYS Integrated Circuits Division’s patented
OptoMOS architecture. The optically-coupled output is
controlled by the input's highly efficient GaAlAs infrared
LED with a built-in series resistor to provide input
voltage-controlled operation.
Featuring a pin-out that matches many popular reed
relays, CPC1218 is a "drop-in" solid state replacement.
Because the input is solid state there is no need for
snubbers or "catch" diodes to suppress the inductive
fly-back transient voltage normally associated with
EMR coils.
