Solid State Relays (SSR) are electrical relays used to switch relatively low power electrical signals called control signals. They are used in a variety of applications where it is necessary to control electrical equipment using a low-current signal. One of the most common applications is to use SSRs to switch relatively high-voltage electrical signals using low-voltage control signals. The SSR is designed to convert an input signal to an output signal of a higher level, thereby providing the functionality of a transformer, although they are usually much smaller in size.In the past, electromechanical relays have been the primary device used to switch high-voltage currents, By switching a low-power control signal, the electromechanical relay can both open and close a high-voltage electrical circuit. This is in contrast with a solid state relay, which does not require a mechanical switch, resulting in significantly higher efficiency and more reliable performance in a variety of environments.

The PS12-1Y is a non-polarized solid state relay with a current rating of 12 Amps, and a voltage rating of 1 Volt. It is designed to switch up to 1V of maximum input voltage, and has an onset thermal protection feature which will shut the device down if the current exceeds safe limits. The operating temperature range for this relay is between -5°C and 50°C and the insulation resistance is greater than 10 MΩ. The typical applications of PS12-1Y solid state relays include switching high-voltage AC and DC power supplies, as well as controlling motor speed.

The working principle of a solid state relay involves an opto-isolator and a triac. An opto-isolator is an optoelectrical device which consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photo-transistor, both encased in a single package. When a low-voltage current is applied to the LED, it emits light which is detected by the phototransistor, which then switches on the relay. The triac acts as a switch, controlling the current passing through the opto-isolator and thus allowing the on/off switching of the high-voltage current. The PS12-1Y relay utilizes all of these components to control the current passing through the device.

Solid state relays are commonly used in a variety of applications where a reliable and efficient device is required for controlling high-voltage currents. The PS12-1Y is suited for such applications due to its low energy consumption, reliable performance, and relatively high current rating. It is also relatively inexpensive compared to other types of SSR, making it an attractive option for those looking to switch high-voltage electrical signals using low-power control signals.
