January 12, 2010–Beverly, Massachusetts, USA – Clare, Inc., an IXYS company (NASDAQ: IXYS – News) and world leader in the design and manufacture of solid-state relays, 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 CPC2014N is 40% smaller than the popular standard 8-lead SOIC, thus enabling significant board space savings. The CPC2014N 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 (additional devices in this package are planned for future release).
The CPC2014N 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 CPC2014N 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 thus is ideal for automated power control.
The small size of this dual 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, thus reducing the power consumption of systems in standby or “off” mode.
