AQY PhotoMOS®

Panasonic AQY PhotoMOS® are relays that provide low CxR values and improved on-resistance and come in a board-space-saving miniaturized package. The AQY series features an LED turned on by a set voltage applied to input pins. The LED light is detected by the photocell, which creates a voltage differential between the cells. The signal is optically isolated from the load. The voltage differential at the photocells switches the dual MOSFET, which, in turn, switches the load circuit. This Panasonic AQY PhotoMOS series serves a variety of applications, including measurement and test equipment, telecommunications and broadcasting equipment, medical equipment, and more.
