S202S11

Solid State Relays (SSRs) are devices typically found in industrial automation and control applications. They switch electronic signals or power relatively low alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) loads. SSRs consist of a control input, a semiconductor switching element, an internal driver circuit, an output terminal and the associated heat dissipation components.

The S202S11 is an AC-input SSR with integrated zero-voltage switching (ZVS) technology. This reduces switching losses, increases the switch-on speed, and improves energy efficiency. The device is suitable for circuits operating with 30 V AC, and up to 600 V AC. It is also suitable for controlling AC loads of up to 10A resistive.

The working principle of the S202S11 is simple. When an AC voltage is applied to the control input, a small electronic voltage is generated across the internal current clearance diode. This voltage, called the ‘Trigger Voltage\', is then amplified by an internal switching circuit. When it is greater than the nominal switching threshold, the device disposes of the AC signal at the output terminal. The hysteresis of the switching threshold keeps the S202S11 in a stable ‘on\' or ‘off\' state. This eliminates unnecessary switching operations, and improves the efficiency and the lifetime of the device.

The S202S11 is designed to control resistive loads in power automation applications. Its primary use is in Motor Control circuits, where it is used to control an AC motor or switch on a load. The device is also suitable for controlling HVAC systems, lighting systems, industrial control systems, and pump systems.

Furthermore, the S202S11 has a built-in protection circuit composed of a self-protection circuit and a temperature protection circuit, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The self-protection circuit is composed of a current protection device that prevents the internal semiconductor from being destroyed due to excessive current. The temperature protection circuit is composed of a thermal switch, and when the internal temperature of the device exceeds a certain threshold, it will automatically turn off the load and protect the device.

In summary, the S202S11 belongs to the category of Solid State Relays. It is a high-efficiency switching device suitable for controlling AC motors and switching on/off resistive loads. It is designed for harsh environment applications, and has a built-in protection circuit.
