Fig. 1 VOM1271 driving two MOSFETs creating bidirectional solid state relay.
Build High Power MOSFET Bidirectional Switch Relay
Bidirectional solid state relays are had to find in particular for high power switching. Here we will build one.
Fig. 1 illustrates my bidirectional MOSFET relay-switch. It used a photovoltaic opto-coupler to drive dual N-channel MOSFETs.
Fig. 2 VOM1271 driving two n-channel MOSFETs.
Fig. 2 is the schematic to the circuit in Fig. 1. The output voltage and current ratings depend on the two MOSFETs used.
Fig. 3 PVT212 electrical connections.
While Fig. 3 illustrates the possible connections for a PVT212 bidirectional SSR the same connections can be done with Fig. 2
