Automatically start or put the brakes on an electric load with this solid-state relay from Sensata | Crydom. It converts an incoming electrical control signal into an optical one without its contacts physically touching. This gives you the benefit of an almost instant turn-on time of half a cycle and reduced wear for long-lasting performance. A light weight of just 4.3g means it puts minimal strain on your PCB to take a weight off your shoulders. Choose an SSR like this one for your industrial motor control or robotics applications.

• Wide operating temperature range between -30°C and +80°C for use in demanding environments
• Encapsulated in thermally conductive epoxy, which dissipates heat and helps to keep the relay cool
• SCR output uses minimal power for energy efficiency
• Zero-cross switching to minimise line noise for interference-free communication

This relay has a broad operating voltage range between 24 and 280V AC, so it's compatible with a wide variety of low-voltage electrical systems.
