Solid State Relays (SSRs) are devices that enable the switching of power using a solid state device. This device is typically employed in low voltage/high current applications. The 40SST120 is an industrial Solid State Relay designed to minimize maintenance costs and improve system flexibility. It is an ideal relay for applications such as printing, packaging and process control.

Basic Operation

The 40SST120 Solid State Relay utilizes a semiconductor like diode, bipolar transistor or MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) to control an AC or DC load. The load is switched on or off when the control signal from a microprocessor or PLC (programmable logic controller) is applied. The load is held in the on or off position until the control signal is changed.

The 40SST120’s internal circuit is bipolar, providing positive and negative voltage applications, and a wide range of supply voltages. The relay is capable of operating over a wide range of temperatures and is designed to minimize thermal overload stress.

Applications

The 40SST120 is suitable for industrial and consumer applications. Some of the most common applications include:

• Home and building automation
• Industrial motor control
• Specialty lighting
• Residential appliance control

The 40SST120 has been designed and tested to meet many specific industry standards, such as UL (Underwriters Laboratories) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association). This added assurance of safety and quality assurance is especially important when selecting a solid-state relay for sensitive applications.

Advantages

The 40SST120 offers a number of advantages over traditional mechanical relays. These advantages include the following:

• It is more reliable than a mechanical relay due to its totally solid state nature.
• It is a cost effective solution for applications requiring frequent switching operations.
• It offers a fast response time.
• It has a fast switching speed.
• It has a wide range of voltage and current capability.
• It has a long life-span.
• It offers isolation between the control and load circuits.

Disadvantages

Although the 40SST120 offers many advantages, there are also a few disadvantages to consider such as:

• It requires more current than a mechanical relay in order to operate.
• It is susceptible to damage from ESD (electrostatic discharge).
• It is more expensive than a mechanical relay.
• It is not suitable for inductive loads.

Conclusion

The 40SST120 is a reliable, cost effective, and flexible solid-state relay for a variety of industrial and consumer applications. It offers a long life span, fast response time, and is also very reliable, making it an ideal choice for many applications. The 40SST120, however, is not suitable for certain applications due to its susceptibility to ESD damage and the fact that it requires more current than a traditional mechanical relay.
