AQW214 Panasonic PhotoMOS Relay – GU Type, 2 Form A, 400 V, DIP8
The Panasonic AQW214 is a dual-channel PhotoMOS relay from the GU series in a compact DIP 8-pin through-hole package. It contains two independent normally open (2 Form A) solid-state switches, each rated 400 V load voltage, switching AC or DC loads. Two channels in one package save board space wherever several signals must be switched or isolated. Typical uses include PLC and I/O modules, measurement and test equipment, telecom line interfaces, and security and alarm systems. The LED input needs just 0.9 mA typical to operate. The MOSFET outputs switch silently and without contact wear, with 1,500 Vrms input-to-output isolation and off-state leakage of 1 µA max.
