AQW212AX

The AQW212AX Solid State Relay (SSR) is an optically operated switching device, providing a high-performance alternative to a conventional mechanical relay. The AQW212AX offers an air-tight, flameproof or gas-tight operation, which makes it a popular choice for applications that require a long-lasting and reliable solution. Its low-profile design and simple installation make it a suitable choice for use in a variety of industries.

The AQW212AX is designed to switch high-voltage loads of up to 250V. It is capable of switching up to 30A of current, with a maximum switching frequency of 50Hz. The AQW212AX operates on a normally open circuit, making it suitable for applications that require immediate activation upon a rise in voltage. This makes it ideal for applications such as automatic door openers, where the relay needs to activate quickly and reliably.

The AQW212AX operates using an opto-isolator, which is an electronic device that utilizes infrared light to electrically isolate two circuits. The AQW212AX is designed to provide a maximum electrical insulation of 230V, in order to minimize the risk of arcing and short-circuiting within the circuit. It also offers a high resistance to electrical surge, making it suitable for environments that suffer from power cuts and other transient disturbances.

The AQW212AX is typically used in applications that require medium to high speed switching. It is suitable for applications in industrial, automotive, medical and commercial equipment. It can also be used for temperature control, security systems and switching of lighting/sound systems. It is typically used for applications involving motors, heaters and solenoid valves.

In order to operate, the AQW212AX requires an external DC power source, typically 15V to 24V. When a voltage is applied to the control input of the AQW212AX, the optical isolator is activated, allowing the relay to transfer current through the switch contacts. When the voltage is removed from the control input, the optical isolator is deactivated and the relay returns to its default OFF state. This process is then repeated when the control input is energized again.

The AQW212AX is a versatile and reliable device, offering a long-term solution for many applications. Its high-voltage switching capacity and its ability to provide a high-level of electrical insulation make it suitable for many demanding applications. It is also an economical choice when compared with conventional mechanical relays.
