VN02N(011Y)

Power Distribution Switches, Load Drivers Overview

The VN02N(011Y) is a monolithic high-side smart power solid-state relay manufactured by STMicroelectronics using VIPower technology. It is designed to drive resistive or inductive loads with one side grounded. The device features a 5V logic level compatible input and provides an open-drain diagnostic output for status indication. Key electrical parameters include a continuous output current of 6A at Tc=25°C, a load voltage range of 7V to 26V, and a typical on-resistance of 400 milliohms maximum. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C and is housed in a 5-Pentawatt through-hole package.
