Clare intros first high current, 60V Dual 1-Form-A solid state relay in narrow 8-pin SOIC package

BEVERLY, USA: Clare Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corp., announced the availability of the miniature 60V, 8-pin narrow SOIC, Dual 1-Form-A (2 Single-Pole, Normally Open switches in a single package) Solid State Relay (SSR).

The CPC2014 is 40 percent smaller compared to the popular standard 8-lead SOIC, thus enabling significant board space savings. The CPC2014 employs optically coupled MOSFET technology to provide 1500Vrms of input-to-output isolation and is Clare’s first dual SSR in an 8-pin narrow SOIC as additional devices in this package are planned for future release.

The CPC2014 features 400mA of current handling, in combination with only 2 Ohms of maximum on-resistance, making it an excellent design choice for applications demanding low impedance switching.

Specifically designed for use in security systems complying with EN50130-4, the CPC2014 offers substantial board space savings over the competition’s larger 8-Pin SOIC. This semiconductor-based relay can be driven directly from low voltage logic ICs, and is ideal for automated power control.

The small size of this SSR and its high efficiency make it ideal for portable instruments, remote control applications, controlling valves and actuators in automation and industrial systems; as well as low voltage lighting applications, especially LED based lighting.

Furthermore, it can be used to reduce the power drain in systems that are on standby mode by cutting off the DC power, thereby reducing the power consumption of systems in standby or 'off' mode.
