A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic device to switch the electrical current, rather than an electromechanical device.
An electromechanical relay uses a magnetic coil and mechanical contacts. When current flows through the coil, it pulls down a piece of iron called an armature, causing the mechanical contacts to touch and thus close an electrical circuit.
A solid state relay (SSR) has no mechanical moving parts, but instead uses a three terminal device such as a triac (triode AC), SCRs (back-to-back thyristors), or FET (field effect transistor) to conduct the electrical current. When the third terminal (gate) is energized by the control input, the device conducts.
Essentially the solid state relay controls a larger electrical current by accepting a small control signal. There are no moving parts.
Advantages of solid state relays are: they have no internal arcing or contacts to wear out, can last virtually forever, can have extremely low control input requirements, and are immune to vibration or G-force chatter.
There are 3 installation parameters that must be planned for. Avoid over-amperage (inrush > than SSR rating), over-voltage (voltage surges) and over temperature. Solid state relay has also opto isolation feature. control signal & power line is completely isolated by an internal LED. It is just like a big version of Opto Coupler.

How does automatic machine work?
mostly Automatic machines are based on the PLC(programmable Logic Control) or other core controller. the best example of this kinda machines is CNC. in this the actuators or motors or any mechanical component is controlled by the relay or solenoids or solid state relay. this is all done step by step as per step sequence is stored in program. and by this program machine work in loop. and act as Automatic.
What state of matter is the element strontium in?
It is in a solid state of matter.
Where does ice come from?
Ice comes from when water is freezed from its liquid state into its solid state, ice.
Because solid state diodes have no filament?
require less operating power
What is the Similarities between the three states of matter?
Solid: Physical state of matter that has definite shape and definite volume is called as solid. Liquid: Physical state of matter that has indefinite shape but definite volume is called as solid. Gas: Physical state of matter that has indefinite shape and indefinite volume is called as solid.
What is the difference between solid state relay and safety relay?
not sure
Can a 120V solid state relay stands 240V?
No.If you are looking of a relay that will allow 240V, many suppliers sell a SSR that will handle up to 280V AC. Most are triggered by 3-32v dc.Just google: solid state relay OR solid state contactor
Can you replace an 3 phase solid state relay with a contactor on a 3 phase heater?
Not without other modifications. The circuits used to turn the solid state relay on will not be suitable for turning a contactor on.
What is ford part f3lb2c013aa?
Air Compressor solid state relay
Difference between relay and solid state relay?
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).
What is a WAC relay on a FORD Explorer?
The WAC relay is a solid state relay usually used to control the air conditioning compressor clutch.
How do you connect the DC solid state relay?
Wire it as shown in the diagram at the link below.
How do you test a solid state relay?
A small light bulb is often used to test a solid state relay (SSR). That is because a SSR needs a minimum load of at least 0.1 amps in order to operate. Using a meter does not provide a sufficient load.
How does a solid state contactor work?
A solid state relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device in which a small control signal controls a larger load current or voltage. It comprises a voltage or current sensor which responds to an appropriate input (control signal), a solid-state electronic switching device of some kind which switches power to the load circuitry either on or off, and some coupling mechanism to enable the control signal to activate this switch without mechanical parts.
How does a solid state power controller work?
very good
What is Overload Solid State relay?
a relay that detects the amperage the motor is drawing when the motor dwaws too much to drops out the coil voltage to shut down motor and prevent damage
What is the WAC relay on a 1995 ford ranger?
There is a WOT A/C relay - Wide Open Throttle A/C relay - that shuts off the air conditioning compressor when you floor the gas pedal The wac relay is a solid state relay usually used to control the air conditioning compressor's clutch.
