Important Information on Using Solid State Contactors and Relays
To ensure safe and reliable applications when using any of our DC solid state relays and ccontactors, there are 8 important facts to be mindful of. Keep in mind different manufacturers may specify SSR’s ratings differently. For example, some manufacturers may specify current ratings based on transistors’ performance at 25°C. Other manufactures may specify ratings without any de-rating considerations; in both cases the rated performance cannot be practically achieved. MAXQ™/Mach1™ SSR specifications are based on a more realistic approach, which is when the device is operating continuously with a baseplate temperature near 100°C....
