Answer:
A product with a high on-state resistance has a tendency whereby the on-state resistance decreases when the load current (IL) is large. Therefore, the on-state resistance is defined under two conditions: in a low current region and a high current region.
The on-state resistance of the PS7160-1A in the low current region (condition: IL = 10 mA) is defined as Ron1 and the on-state resistance in the high current region (condition: IL = 90 mA, 10 ms ≥ t) is defined as Ron2.
For details, see "Explanation of optical-coupled MOS FET (OCMOS FET) Specifications — "ON" state Resistance: Ron (Ω)".
