High Current Optically Isolated SCR AC Power from Clare

CPC1966 AC/DC Power Relay is ideal for a variety of power applications including industrial controls, consumer appliances and medical equipment.

The CPC1966 is an AC Solid State Switch utilizing dual-power SCR thyristor outputs. This device also includes zero-cross turn-on circuitry and is specified with a blocking voltage of 600VP. In addition, tightly controlled zero-cross circuitry ensures low noise switching of AC loads by minimizing the generation of transients. The optically coupled input and output circuits provide 3750Vrms of isolation and noise immunity between the control and load circuits. As a result, the CPC1966 is well suited for industrial environments where electromagnetic interference would disrupt the operation of plant facility communication and control systems.

Available in the Power SIP package, the CPC1966 offers pin-to-pin compatibility with other solid state relays providing an easy upgrade path for existing designs. Development of Clare's power relay products was founded on the blending of Clare's traditional strengths in the design and manufacture of photovoltaic integrated circuits (ICs), leadframe design and multi-chip packaging with IXYS expertise in power MOSFETs, power packages and substrate technology.

Optically coupled MOSFET technology is used to provide 3750 Vrms of input to output isolation and, as in all Clare solid state relays, the optically coupled output is controlled by a GaAIAs infrared LED.

Additional Clare power relays are offered in the ISOPLUS-264 and the i4-PAC (self-isolated) packages. The i4-PAC combines an electrically isolated non-conductive exterior with low thermal impedance making it an ideal solution for power applications preferring a non-biased heat sink with superior thermal management properties and the ISOPLUS-264 is self-isolated.

Clare's unique, RoHS compliant, family of 1-Form-A high-power Solid State Relays (SSRs) delivers the industry's highest power MOSFET-based SSRs. Applications include: Motor control, robotics, medical equipment, railroad and traffic controls, consumer appliances, industrial controls, and, test and measurement equipment, and they are certified to UL 508 Standard for Industrial Control Equipment.
