Turn your circuit on and off using this solid-state relay from Sensata | Crydom. When it receives a control signal, it flashes it across an internal transistor, sending power to the circuit. As it has no moving parts, there's less risk of wear and tear, so it lasts for the long haul. This SSR is fully encapsulated in a thermally conductive epoxy case that dissipates heat, helping it to keep its cool in harsh conditions. You'll typically find this piece of gear in your robotics and data acquisition systems.

• Load voltage range between 0 and 60V DC for use in low and high-power equipment
• Safe for use in harsh conditions, thanks to a wide operating temperature range between -10°C and +80°C

Thanks to its built-in PCB pins, you can mount this SSR in a flash by soldering it to your board.

It has a rapid turn-on time of 1ms and a turn-off time of 300μs, so it switches power to your circuit in a jiffy.
