The PLA170 is a 1-Form-A Solid State Relay which
uses optically coupled MOSFET technology to provide
enhanced input-to-output isolation of 3750Vrms. The
efficient MOSFET switches and photovoltaic die use
Clare’s patented OptoMOS® architecture.
The optically-coupled output is controlled by a GaAIAs
infrared LED. The PLA170 is designed to replace
electromechanical relays and offers the superior
reliability associated with Solid State devices. This
device provides bounce-free switching in a more
compact surface mount or through hole package.

Manufacturing Information
Soldering
For proper assembly, the component must be
processed in accordance with the current revision
of IPC/JEDEC standard J-STD-020. Failure to
follow the recommended guidelines may cause
permanent damage to the device resulting in impaired
performance and/or a reduced lifetime expectancy.
Recommended soldering processes are limited to
260ºC component body temperature for 10 seconds.
Washing
Clare does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning or the
use of chlorinated solvents.
