For high current loads, this solid state relay is the way to go. Using the 5V digital outputs from a Phidgets device, you can control the relay to silently switch a DC circuit at 120V/75A or less. There's an indicator LED on the control side of the circuit so you can tell the state of the relay at a glance.

If your SSR is overheating, you should consider getting a heat sink for safety. This SSR comes with a heat transfer pad that can be placed between the metal base of the SSR and the surface it's mounted to in order to help encourage heat flow. It also comes with a diode that can be used to protect your SSR against back EMF.

Features

  • Capable of switching up to 75 amps of DC current
  • Control power for a circuit or device up to a maximum of 120V
  • Controlled by Phidgets with 5V digital outputs
  • Comes with a diode, relay cover, and thermal pad

Connection

This relay can be controlled using a Phidgets relay output board. See the Connection & Compatibility tab for details.

Warnings

warning
  1. If you're running the SSR close to it's maximum current rating, you'll probably need to mount it to a heat sink or a surface that can function as a heat sink.
  2. Use the heat transfer pad between the SSR and the heat sink. Failure to do so can cause overheating and could damage the relay.
  3. Make sure that the SSR terminal screws are tight. If the screws are not tight, the SSR will get damaged by heat generated when the power is ON.
  4. When an SSR fails, it most often fails permanently closed - leaving your load powered, and possibly creating a fire or safety hazard. Be sure to have failsafes in these situations.
  5. You can use a fuse to protect your circuit from wiring mistakes and accidental short-circuits.
  6. Make sure that you use the relay within the product specifications.
  7. Ensure that the relay terminals are covered or protected when switching high voltage loads.

Guides

Digital Output Boards

This SSR can be controlled either by using a high-power digital output (such as those on the OUT1100 - 4x Digital Output Phidget) or by using an open-collector digital output and a 5V source, which can be done with the 1012 - PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/16/16.

Heatsinks

If you're switching high current devices or circuits, we recommend that you use a heatsink. In some applications, you may be able to mount the relay to a metal surface which can act as a heatsink by itself. This relay comes with a heat transfer pad that you can sandwich between the relay and the heatsink or mounting surface. When screwed on tight, it will eliminate any air gaps and ensure that the heat conducts from the relay to the heatsink. In cases where the heatsink cannot dissipate heat fast enough, you should add a fan to one end of the heatsink so that air is constantly moving through the fins.
