New VOR Family of Hybrid Solid-State Relays Offers High-Reliability Replacements for Mechanical Relays

Vishay Intertechnology introduces the first three devices in its new VOR family of hybrid solid-state relays designed to deliver high reliability and noiseless switching for telecommunications, industrial, security system, and metering applications. As replacements for traditional mechanical relays with lower reliability and shorter lifetimes, the Vishay Semiconductors 1 Form A VOR1142A6, VOR1142B6, and VOR1142M4 provide high input-to-output isolation, current limit protection, and low power consumption.

• Normally open single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switches
• Allowing for simple customization, the devices’ modular construction consists of a GaAIAs IRED actuation control and MOSFETs for the switch output
• A built-in current limitation circuit
• VDE and UL certified to meet reinforced insulation requirements for most applications.
• Electronically isolated, the devices offer clean, bounce-free switching over an ambient temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C

Market Applications:

Line, load, ground, signal, and alarm switches; I/O cards; ground isolation; electro-mechanical noise isolation; automation; automatic test equipment; and motor drives in telecommunications, industrial, security system, and metering applications
