High voltage relay simplifies implementation of high voltage isolation requirements

21-10-2021 | Luso | Power

The OR-100 is a ±10kV rated HV opto-relay, available now from Luso Electronics, integrates low voltage LED drivers with HV photodiodes. It operates as a low power switch for HV signals up to ±10kV, making it an ideal substitute for bulky mechanical HV relays. Its solid-state design removes the wear and tear through its lifetime and provides quiet, bounce-free, high-speed switching.

It is 10kV rated over contacts as well as from contacts to drive pins in a compact 0.4” L x 0.24” W x 0.25” H package.

Created for ease of use, with a wide operating temperature range (-40C to +85C) and incorporating internal current limiting resistors, the device provides circuit isolation in a space-saving encapsulated package.

Typical applications for the device include high voltage switching and high voltage isolation.
