The CPC1335P OptoMOS solid-state relay combines a high voltage 1 Form A relay with a 600W transorb in a single surface mount package.
The CPC1335P's relay is capable of blocking voltages up to 350V and offers a low on resistance of 35ohm.
The output protection transorb is robust enough to handle 600W peak power and has a max stand off voltage of 40V.
Clare's latest OptoMOS relay offers an attractive replacement for reed relays in security system applications such as passive infra-red detectors, glass break sensors and other perimeter security equipment.
The CPC1335P's surface mount package consumes less board space and the solid-state relay offers important advantages for security systems such as immunity to magnetic tampering and higher reliability than reed relays.
Together with the benefit of output transorb protection in a single package, this provides designers a means to meet the requirements of EN50130-4 for class 3 installations.
In addition, the low input drive current allows designers to operate the relay directly from logic level signals without the external components necessary when using electromechanical relay solutions.
"The CPC1335P relay with bidirectional transient protection is the industry's only single package solution for security system applications.
Not only does it offer all the usual performance advantages attributable to solid-state relays, but the device also minimises the BOM by reducing component count and overall system cost", said John Battaglini, Director of Marketing at Clare.
"In the ultra-competitive security systems market, the CPC1335P meets two key goals of designers: lower manufacturing cost and higher reliability".
