Phototriac Couplers and Solid-State Relays

The PR3 is a new line of 8-pin DIP SSRs for small power requirements. The PC2 and PC3 lines are new DIP-4 and DIP-6 phototriac couplers, which have as low as 3-mA triggering current and lower power.

The low-power, 8-pin DIP SSRs feature both zero-cross and nonzero-cross types. They are a more cost-effective alternative to electromechanical relays, and offer greater noise immunity and longer life, because they have no moving parts. A 1.2-A, 8-pin DIP SSR is also available for midrange power requirements. Applications include home appliances, vending machines, and sanitation and AC load control.

The PC2 and PC3 lines of DIP-6 and expanded DIP-4 Phototriac Couplers fit the same footprint as the current industry-standard parts, but offer improved performance in terms of noise immunity, triggering current, and lower power.

The SSR and Phototriac Couplers meet all applicable UL and CSA industry standards. SSRs are available now and priced from $0.40 to $2.00 for quantities of 5,000. Phototriac Couplers are available now and are priced from $0.20 to $0.50 for quantities of 5,000.
