The new DIN-Mountable VS861 Series Solid State Relay with an internal heat sink is the first complete solid state relay with no moving parts available in a modular package. A SSR (solid state relay) can perform many of the same tasks as an EMR (electromechanical relay). The SSR differs in that it contains no moving mechanical parts. It is essentially an electronic device that relies on the electrical, magnetic and optical properties of semiconductors and electrical components to achieve its isolation and relay switching function.

APPLICATIONS

• Lighting
• Traffic control
• Instrumentation systems and alarm systems
• Industrial automation

Benefits of Solid State Construction

• No moving parts to wear or fail
• No contact bounce or arcing contacts
• Reduced EMI
• Longer life than electromechanical relays
• Superior performance where fast response time or high frequency of on/off cycling are required
