Switching Characteristics of
Normally Open Devices
The PLA140 is a single-pole normally open
(1-Form-A) Solid State Relay that uses optically
coupled MOSFET technology to provide 3750Vrms of
input-to-output isolation.
The relay outputs are constructed with efficient
MOSFET switches and photovoltaic die that use
Clare's patented OptoMOS architecture while
the input, a highly efficient GaAlAs infrared LED,
provides the optically coupled control.
The PLA140’s combination of low on-resistance and
high load current handling makes it suitable for a
variety of industrial applications.
Because Solid State Relays like the PLA140
have no moving parts, they can offer faster,
bounce-free switching in a more compact surface
mount or though hole package than traditional
electromechanical relays.

Manufacturing Information
All plastic encapsulated semiconductor packages are
susceptible to moisture ingression. Clare classified
all of its plastic encapsulated devices for moisture
sensitivity according to the latest version of the joint
industry standard, IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 in force
at the time of product evaluation. We test all of our
products to the maximum conditions set forth in the
standard, and guarantee proper operation of our
devices when handled according to the limitations
and information in that standard as well as to any
limitations set forth in the information or standards
referenced below.
Failure to adhere to the warnings or limitations as
established by the listed specifications could result in
reduced product performance, reduction of operable
life, and/or reduction of overall reliability.
Moisture Sensitivity
This product is rated Moisture Sensitivity Level 1
(MSL 1), and should be handled according to the
requirements of the latest version of the joint industry
standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.
ESD Sensitivity
This product is ESD Sensitive, and should be
handled according to the industry standard JESD-625.
Reflow Profile
This product has a maximum body temperature rating
of 250ºC for a maximum of 30 seconds. All other
guidelines of J-STD-020 must be observed.
Board Wash
Clare recommends the use of no-clean flux
formulations. However, board washing to remove flux
residue is acceptable. Since Clare employs the use of
silicone coating as an optical waveguide in many of its
optically isolated products, the use of a short drying
bake could be necessary if a wash is used after solder
reflow processes. Chlorine- or Fluorine-based solvents
or fluxes should not be used. Cleaning methods that
employ ultrasonic energy should not be used.
Clare, Inc. makes no representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy or completeness of the contents of this publication and reserves the right to make changes to specifications
and product descriptions at any time without notice. Neither circuit patent licenses nor indemnity are expressed or implied. Except as set forth in Clare’s Standard Terms and Conditions of
Sale, Clare, Inc. assumes no liability whatsoever, and disclaims any express or implied warranty, relating to its products including, but not limited to, the implied warranty of merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, or infringement of any intellectual property right.
The products described in this document are not designed, intended, authorized or warranted for use as components in systems intended for surgical implant into the body, or in other
applications intended to support or sustain life, or where malfunction of Clare’s product may result in direct physical harm, injury, or death to a person or severe property or environmental
damage. Clare, Inc. reserves the right to discontinue or make changes to its products at any time without notice.
