Solid-state relays mount the DIN rail
Crydom is now offering a range of families of DIN-rail mounting solid-state relays (SSRs) for switching lamps, motors and heating elements.
Crydom is now offering a range of families of DIN-rail mounting solid-state relays (SSRs) for switching lamps, motors and heating elements in applications as diverse as process control, medical equipment and heating and ventilation systems The very long operating life of SSRs and their ability to work in harsh environments makes them ideally suited to these types of use

30A switching in 22.5mm width package contactor
Crydom has introduced a new series of solid state contactors capable of switching loads up to 30Amps in a 22.5mm width package.
TVS diode protection protects relays as standard
In order to ensure that its range of Solid State Relays are protected from over voltage, Crydom International Ltd has introduced TVS diode protection on its range of SSR products.
The popularity of DIN-rail mounting in applications such as these, coupled with the speed and convenience of mounting, opens up an additional market for Crydom's established SSR technology.
Typical examples of the DIN-rail mounting SSRs are the CMRD and CMRA series.
These single-pole, single-throw, normally open relays are available in variants for maximum load currents of 35, 45, 55 or 65A and operating voltages of 24-280, 48-530 or 48-660V.
Output is an SCR switch and is available in zero-cross or random-turn-on versions.
Control voltage is 4-32V DC or 90-140V RMS.
Recent additions to the range include the lighter, MS11 plastic DIN rail carrier.
These devices uniquely feature DC/DC SSRs with the capability of switching up to 10A DC loads at up to 100V DC.
Typical DC switching applications include: DC motor control, switching of solenoids, DC lamp switching and battery isolation.
The relays offer the range of SSR benefits, including infinite lifetime, ability to operate in harsh environments regardless of orientation, no moving parts and high-power switching with a low signal input.
They are manufactured in Crydom's ISO9002 certified facility for optimum product performance and reliability.
Approvals to UL, CSA and VDE are pending.
