Considerations on Use of SSR
 
Considerations on Use of SSR Input1.Input:
In case of unstable input voltage, please adjust the input voltage within the range of upper and lower level of input voltage range when circuit on. Also please adjust the input voltage below dropout voltage VD when circuit off.
In case of noise invading in input line, miss operating may happen. In that case, please shorten cables of input line and shield from high voltage/current line. Twist cable and shield cable on input line are also effective.
There are two kinds of input circuit which voltage control and current control depending SSR models.

Considerations on Use of SSR Outoput2.Output:
2-1. Over-Voltage:
In case the voltage over peak repetitive off state voltage VDRM applied to output circuit, not only miss operating but also damage of elements inside SSR may happen. (VDRM rating is on sudden over-voltage, not applicable for continuous over-voltage.) Also pay attention to instantaneous over-voltage.
If the above over-voltage caused by contact spark of switch, voltage changes, noise invading, back- electromotive force of inductive load, etc. on output line would be afraid, it is recommend for putting the over-voltage protection elements such as a varistor between output terminals in parallel. (The model with a built-in varistor is an exception.) Please pay attention to the varistor rating to avoid the damage caused by high voltage/current. For the sudden over-voltage at starting, please use the elements of high speed and over-voltage protection type.

Recommended varistor voltage ratings :
220-270V (AC100V line), 430-470V (AC200V line)

As for the large value of off state dV/dt on power supply side and commutation dV/dt by inductive load may cause of miss operating or non-stopping, please confirm the operating conditions carefully. As measures, adjusting snubber constant or replacement to larger current capacity SSR are effective.

2-2. Over Current:
If the current is over surge current rating ISURGE in output circuit, the damage of elements inside SSR may happen. To protect inside elements, please use a fuse. (ISURGE ratings of SSR are showing outstanding against sudden over-current. Not applicable for repetitive over-current.)
In case that it is afraid for the sudden large current applied by short circuit or others, please provide the protection for over-current by using of a high-speed fuse with the meltdown characteristics IFF working under load IR and ISURGE ratings, in series at output circuit.
Considerations on Use of SSR ISURGE > IFF > IR
Depending on load, 10-40 times of load ratings at starting may happen. When selecting SSR, please take the inrush instant current and its duration into consideration carefully.

In case the instant current is over 1 cycle surge current, there is a way to protect SSR from the above by putting serial protection resistance RS or serial protection inductance LS in series at load.


Considerations on Use of SSR

Considerations on Use of SSR Radiation Design3.Radiation Design:
As requiring radiation, please use SSR within the range of load current characteristics curve.
Please use SSR on the best radiation conditions by taking the power supply voltage duration and environmental temperature rising into consideration. In case of using it in the closed area and number of SSR in adjacency, please make sure to have much enough radiation design taking air flow and heat interference between each SSR into consideration.
As for models needed heat-sink, please use JEL standard heat-sink showing in load current characteristic curve, and also use silicon grease and take care not to stick dust, and keep the surface of radiation equipment flat and without any flash in order to keep radiation effect. When use the other heat sink besides our products, please ask us the radiation conditions.
As operating SSR produces high temperature, please do not touch SSR itself and heat sink.

Considerations on Use of SSR Loads4.Loads:
4-1. Small Current Loads:
Small current or high sensitive loads give some troubles such as no SW OFF even by cut off input voltage or also by off state leakage current during open circuit of SSR. In that case please adjust the level not to keep SW ON by shunt resistance RP in parallel to the load in order to reduce the off state leakage current through the load.
Resistance RP is calculated by the following formula. An approximate above value is the same value as load resistance RL.

4-2. Inductive Loads:
In case of applying magnet relay, motor, solenoid, and solenoid valve with high inductivity, the over voltage protection elements such as varistor are very effective for avoiding the damage of elements inside SSR and the miss-operation caused by over voltage produced by back-electromotive force when load off. Since the inductive load produces very big inrush current, please select the SSR capable for various current.
In case of selecting SSR with zero-cross circuit on the load having big phase difference of voltage/current, please take care of the miss-operation when over 40V/200 μ sec of the rate of rise of load voltage at commutation.

4-3. Capacitive Loads:
The load with capacitance such as motor with capacitance and switching power supply may cause over current of charge/discharge current or voltage by adding power supply voltage and charging voltage to capacitor. Please make sure to have an over current/voltage measure in output side.
For the above, please mount varistor for over voltage and serial resistance for over current.

4-4. Particular Loads and Applications:
Particular load conditions or ambient which is not suitable for SSR may cause unstable operation of SSR. Please use SSR carefully by checking the operating conditions in advance. Especially, since the load which is below load current of SSR minimum operating current or no sign wave of operating current and self-oscillating load may cause unstable operation, please check the operating conditions and voltage/current wave carefully.

Considerations on Use of SSR Others5.Others:
Not available to use SSR in series to obtain more voltage rating and also in parallel to obtain more current capacity. Please use SSR with enough capacity for the above.
When mounting SSR in circuit, please take care to avoid stress by heat during soldering. This also may cause luck of reliability. Soldering temperature condition should be 2505 within 10 seconds in using terminal mounting SSR.
In case of SSR for mounting on PCB, please do not give stress on SSR itself when forming to the lead terminals.
Torque requirement is within 20kgf•cm(1.96N•m) on M5 screw, 15kgf•cm(1.47N•m) on M4 screw and 8kgf•cm(0.78N•m) on M3 screw. Please take a suitable and perfect method of SSR when mounting it to electric pole terminals. Imperfect mounting may cause unusual heat and also firing when operating. Also please mount SSR on the heat sink in perfect manner in order to avoid insufficient radiation.
The maximum torque range of screwing SSR on heat-sink is within 24kgf•cm(2.35N•m) on M5 screw, 15kgf•cm(1.47N•m) on M4 screw and 8kgf•cm(0.78N•m) on M3 screw.
When cleaning SSR, please take care not to use cleaning agent that may cause damage of resin case.
SSR is not having a recovery function from the damage. If requiring very high reliability, please take care of using various protection methods on SSR and also in system.
Please do not use our SSR near by fire, heater and inflammables even our SSR body is made of noninflammable resin.
Please make sure to get ground with radiation part (Al-base) of SSR in case of SSR with radiator.
Please take care not to get electrical shock. If drop SSR down when handling, please use it after confirming of its characteristics. Please do not make SSR wet and take care of not to put agents and steam which may cause damage on resin. Also take care not to have dew. Please do not use SSR in ambient area such as agent evaporation, or give any strong shock and vibration on it. When disposing SSR itself, accessories or packing materials, please make sure to keep environmental standards and do it in good manner.
Please feel free to contact our sales section or technical division of factory if you have any questions.
