SOLID STATE RELAY AQ8-RELAYS
mm inch
UL File No.: E95895
CSA File No.: LR26550 FEATURES
1. So slim with 9 mm .354 inch thick-
ness
The thin type (45 mm long ×24 mm high
×9 mm wide) (1.772 ×.945 ×.354 inch)
permits high density mounting.
2. Excellent in noise resistance
Since the input and output are insulated
by the photo TRIAC coupler, the noise
on the output side is not fed back to the
input side.
3. Snubber circuit integrated
The snubber circuit is integrated to pre-
vent malfunction caused by the rapid rise
of the voltage on the output side, such as
inductive load and noise.
4. Zero-cross and nonzero-cross
types are available.
The zero-cross type generates minimal
noise by suppressing occurrence of radio
frequency interference (RFI) and electro-
magnetic interference (EMI).
The nonzero-cross type features a short
operation time which permits phase con-
trol.
TYPES
5. High dielectric strength: 3,000 V AC
(between input and output)
6. Two kinds of terminals distance are
available. (5.08 mm and 7.62 mm)
(.200 and .300 inch)
7. High reliability, long life and main-
tenance-free
APPLICATIONS
Most suitable as drivers for small size
AC motors, solenoids, solenoid valves
and so on.
1. Copying equipment
2. Air conditioners
3. Industrial equipment such as NC
machines, sequencers, robots and so on

NOTES
1. When used for the load less than
rated
In case of the load current less than
rated, malfunction may result from the
residual voltage across the both ends of
the load even if the solid state relay is
turned off. Use a dummy resistor as a
countermeasure.
The total of the current through the resis-
tor and the load current must exceed the
min. rated load current.

SSR Load

2
In case the dummy resistor is not used,
keep in mind that the residual voltage
becomes as follows:
Example:
For the inductive load by the 20 mA load
current and the 200 V AC load voltage, the
load impedance becomes 10 kΩand Ve/V
= 14% is estimated from the right above
graph. Accordingly, the 28 V voltage
remains across the both ends of the load
when the solid state relay is turned off.
