PLA140L is a 1-Form-A solid state relay which uses
optically coupled MOSFET technology to provide
3750V of input to output isolation. The efficient MOS-
FET switches and photovoltaic die use Clare’s patent-
ed Optomos architecture. The optically-coupled input
is controlled by a highly efficient GaAIAs infrared LED.
The PLA140L also contains a built in load current lim-
iting feature. This combined with a low on resistance
and very high load current handling capabilities makes
it suitable for a variety of high performance switching
applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings (@ 25˚ C)
Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings. Stresses in
excess of these ratings can cause permanent damage to
the device. Functional operation of the device at these or
any other conditions beyond those indicated in the opera-
tional sections of this data sheet is not implied. Exposure of
the device to the absolute maximum ratings for an extend-
ed period may degrade the device and effect its reliability.
