Clare Expands New Power Relay Family with Introduction of 600V, 4A Version
Thursday September 11, 4:30 pm ET
BEVERLY, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 11, 2003--Clare, Inc., an IXYS company (Nasdaq:SYXI - News), today announced the immediate availability of the CPC1977J power OptoMOS® solid-state relay (SSR). The CPC1977J is an optically coupled SSR capable of blocking voltages up to 600V, has load current handling capability up to 4A in free air, offers a low on-resistance of 1.0 Ohm as well as a very low thermal resistance (0.45 degrees C/W from junction to heatsink). With an appropriate heatsink, the CPC1977J is capable of handling more than 10A.
The CPC1977J is the second member of a new family of power SSRs to be packaged in the unique i4-PAC(TM) pioneered by IXYS. This package enables Clare to offer the highest voltage/current SSR with the most efficient heat transfer characteristics in the smallest available form factor. The combination of Clare's multichip packaging technology and the IXYS i4-PAC(TM) allows for easy scalability and flexibility for the addition of new power relay products.
Due to the powerful combination of voltage and current ratings, the CPC1977J is ideal for use in a variety of applications including motor controls, robotics, medical equipment, railroad and traffic controls, consumer appliances, industrial controls, test and measurement equipment and I/O subsystems.
"The introduction of the CPC1977J reinforces Clare's commitment to the high power relay market," commented Mark Heisig, VP of Business Development at Clare. "With the base i4-PAC(TM) package technology now fully qualified for SSRs, we are able to rapidly introduce new products with the right combination of voltage, current and on-resistance required by different applications and customers. This product demonstrates the integration of IXYS' power products and Clare's SSR technology. The combination of these technologies as embodied by this Clare product family, illustrates the synergies."
"We are very encouraged by the early market acceptance of these new power relay products," stated John Battaglini, Marketing Director at Clare. "To date, we have sampled more than 30 customers worldwide with the list of interested customers and diverse applications continuing to grow." |
