Applications
Thermal characteristics
The thermal design of Solid
State Relays is very impor-
tant. It is essential that the user
makes sure that cooling is ad-
equate and that the maximum
junction temperature of the re-
lay is not exceeded.
This relay is designed for use
in applications in which it is
exposed to high surge condi-
tions. Care must be taken to
ensure proper heatsinking
when the relay is to be used at
high sustained currents. Ade-
quate electrical connection
between relay terminals and
cable must be ensured.

Direct bonding
In the design of the output
power semiconductor direct
bonding of the copper layer
and the ceramic substrate has
been applied. This is to en-
sure uninhibited heat transfer
and high thermal fatigue
strength.
The relay has been designed
for applications requiring lar-
ge numbers of load cycles.
Power dissipation
The power dissipation for in-
termittent use is calculated ac-
cording to the following for-
mula:
ton toff
OFF
ON
Irms = ION2x tON
tON + tOFF
Ex: RA 24 50 -D 06:
Load current = 45 A
tON = 30 s
tOFF = 15 s
Irms =452x 30
30 + 15
The rms current will be
36.7 A.
If the heatsink is placed in a
small closed room, control
panel or the like, the power
dissipation can cause the
ambient temperature to rise.
The heatsink is to be cal-
culated on the basis of the
ambient temperature and the
increase in temperature.
Rth c-s = case to heatsink
Rth s-a = heatsink to ambient
