Best Answer

All solid state relays are relays, but not all relays are solid state relays.

There are three basic kinds of (protective) relays I know of: electromechanical (rely on induced voltages and currents to spin disks or energize solenoids), solid state (built with solid state parts - basically prerequisites to microprocessors), and microprocessor based relays (fancy computers).
