PLA134
DS-PLA134-R2
The PLA134 is a 1-Form-A solid state relay which uses
optically coupled MosFET technology to provide 3750V
of input to output isolation. The efficient MosFET switches
and photovoltaic die use Clare’s patented OptoMOS®
architecture. The optically-coupled input is controlled by
a highly efficient GaAIAs infrared LED. The PLA134’s
combination of low on resistance and high load current
handling makes it suitable for a variety of industrial
applications. Because solid state relays have no moving
parts, they can offer faster , bounce-free switching in a more
compact surface mount or through hole package than
traditional electromechanical relays.

Electrical Characteristics
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 operational sections of
this data sheet is not implied. Exposure of the device to the ab-
solute maximum ratings for extended period may degrade the
device and effect its reliability.
