PLA110L
Single Pole OptoMOS®Relays
PLA110L is a 1-Form-A solid state relay which uses
optically coupled MOSFET technology to provide
3750V of input to output isolation. The efficient cur-
rent limited MOSFET switches and photovoltaic die
use Clare’s patented OptoMOS®architecture. The
optically-coupled input is controlled by a highly effi-
cient GaAIAs infrared LED. The PLA110L can be
used to replace mechanical relays and offers the
superior reliability associated with semiconductor
devices. Because they have no moving parts, they
can offer faster, bounce-free switching in a more
compact surface mount or through hole package.

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
extended period may degrade the device and effect its
reliability.
