Product Description
The zero switching relay with
antiparallel thyristor output is
the most widely used indus-
trial SSR due to its multiple
application possibilities. The
relay can be used for resis-
tive, inductive and capacitive
loads. The zero switching
relay switches ON when the
sinusoidal curve crosses zero

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.

Rth j-c = junction to case
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 large
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 23 50 -D 06D:
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
