CAUTIONS FOR USE
Cautions for Use
1. Derating design
Derating is essential in any reliable
design and is a significant factor for
product life. Even if the conditions of use
(temperature, current, voltage, etc.) of
the product fall within the absolute
maximum ratings, reliability can be
reduced remarkably when continually
used under high load (high temperature,
high humidity, high current, high voltage,
etc.). Therefore, please derate sufficiently
below the absolute maximum rating and
verify operation of the actual design
before use.
2. Noise and surge protection at the
input side
A high noise surge voltage applied to the
SSR input circuit can cause malfunction
or permanent damage to the device. If
such a high surge is anticipated, use C or
R noise absorber in the input circuit.
3. If the polarity of the input voltage of
input side is reversed
Reversing the polarity may cause
permanent damage to the device. Take
special care to avoid polarity reversal.
4. In the case of input voltage
containing ripple
If the input voltage contains ripple, the
peak of the ripple should not exceed the
maximum rated control voltage (32V),
and the bottom of the ripple should
exceed the minimum rated control
voltage (4V).
5. If the polarity of the load voltage of
output side is reversed
Although the built-in diode for protection
against reverse connection will prevent
damage from occurring if the output
terminals are connected with reverse
polarity, please be aware that the circuit
will short.
6. Spike voltage
If an inductive load generates spike
voltages which exceed the absolute
maximum rating, the spike voltage must
be limited. Typical circuits are shown
below.
Even if spike voltages generated at the
load are limited with a clamp diode or
varistor if the circuit wires are long, spike
voltages will occur by inductance. Keep
wires as short as possible to minimize
inductance.
7. Others
1) If an SSR is used in close proximity to
another SSR or heat-generating device,
its ambient temperature may exceed the
allowable level. Carefully plan SSR
layout and ventilation.
2) Terminal connections should be made
by referring to the associated wiring
diagram.
3) When mounting a heat sink, coat it
with a heat conducting compound or
similar in order to improve the heat
dissipation effect.
4) The product is hot during and
immediately after operation. Use caution.
5) When mounting a slim heat sink (AQP-
HS-SJ20A) on a DIN rail, mount it as per
the instructions in Note of the dimension-
al drawing. Mounting in the opposite
direction may cause disengagement due
to vibration or impact.
6) For higher reliability, check device
quality under actual operating conditions.
7) As a guide, the tightening torque for
the screw terminals should be approxi-
mately 1.0 N·m on the output side and
approximately 0.5 N·m on the input side.
8. Transportation and storage
1) Extreme vibration during transport will
warp the terminal or damage the relay.
Handle the carton and case with care.
2) Storage under extreme conditions will
cause external appearance defects, and
deterioration of the characteristics. The
following storage conditions are
recommended:
• Temperature: 0 to 45C 32 to 113F
• Humidity: Less than 70% R.H.
• Atmosphere: No harmful gasses such
as sulfurous acid gas, minimal dust.
