Vishay's New 1-A Output Current Integrated Power Phototriac

Rated at 600-V blocking voltage, the power phototriac can provide isolation between DC and AC voltages on 120-V and 240-V AC lines, giving designers a 2X or better safety factor. For additional safety, the device offers an input-to-output isolation voltage of 5300V. A low 10-mA input trigger current facilitates an easy interface with digital logic.

The VO3526 can be used as a solid-state relay. Optimized for noisy environments, typical applications for the new device will include home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, dishwashers, washer/dryers, and oven ranges.
