Manual Explanation
“SSR” stands for solid-state relay. First marketed in the 1970’s, SSRs have
become very popular for the following reasons:
•
They provide a means of creating no-contact relays in output power sections
enabling conversion of control circuits to ICs.
•
They provide a means of increasing the service life of the application and
reducing maintenance time and costs.
•
They provide a means of preventing operating errors caused through noise by
isolating signal circuits and outputs.
•
They provide a means of eliminating the clicking sounds produced when
mechanical relay load currents turn ON.
In these and other ways, SSRs have proven to provide many special
characteristics to meet market needs.
This manual has been produced in response to demand from customers to
provide the product and technical information required to select the best SSRs
according to purpose and application.
