MOSFET relay family affords design flexibility with choice of more than 150 variants

The GU series of PhotoMOS® solid-state relays from Panasonic offers high isolation ratings for use in industrial automation equipment, while providing longer life and a lower failure rate than traditional electromechanical relays.

The GU series of PhotoMOS® solid-state relays from Panasonic Industry gives design engineers a very wide choice of configuration and power options for systems which require a reliable, long-lived alternative to conventional electromechanical relays. 

 

Including more than 150 types, the GU series is suited to many different requirements in industrial automation applications. The relays’ photovoltaic coupling technology gives long lifetime, and eliminates the wear and tear to which electromechanical relays are subject.

 

The GU relays are available in five contact configurations, and in SOP or DIP packages. They support load switching requirements ranging from 40 V/1.6 A to 600 V/50 mA.

 

Relay options in the GU series include:

  • Current limiting
  • Short-circuit protection
  • Voltage-sensitive types
  • High I/O isolation up to 5 kVrms

Features

  • Linear output characteristics
  • Switches very low analogue signals
  • Non-inductive input
  • Resistant to shock and vibration

Applications

  • Programmable logic controllers
  • Industrial PCs
  • I/O modules
  • Robotic controls
  • Smart meters
  • Battery management systems
  • Automatic circuit breakers
  • Smoke detectors
  • Intercom systems
  • Alarms
