High current ratings for solid-state
relays
The new CW series solid-state relay offers high-power AC-output switching capabilities with user-friendly universal connections and an integrated fingerproof cover.
Complementing its industry leading Series-1 solid-state relays (SSRs), Crydom International has released the new CW series SSR offering high-power AC-output switching capabilities with user-friendly universal connections and an integrated fingerproof cover CW series relays use the same industry standard footprint as the Series-1 SSRs and are easily incorporated into existing designs

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.
Offered in steady-state current ratings from 10 to 125A RMS, CW series relays have high surge ratings in the rugged, industry preferred silicon control rectifiers (SCR) AC-switch output configuration.
The steady-state/surge-current ratings make them attractive for many demanding applications in the heating, motor control, uninterruptible power systems (UPS), ventilating, air-conditioning, computer, peripherals, power management, food service equipment, medical electronics and printing industries.
With blocking voltages of up to 1200V the CW Series is ideal for high-voltage applications, providing OEMs with worldwide market potential for their equipments in countries with standard operating voltages up to 600V RMS.
Demonstrating Crydom's industry recognised expertise in thermal management, the new universal package with its 4kV RMS isolated metal baseplate construction permits direct mounting to an external heatsink to achieve optimal current ratings.
"CW series offers our customers the same high quality, market leading Crydom product they have come to rely on and expect, but with the added compatibility and greater flexibility to adapt to the latest innovations in connectivity", comments Bruce McEachran, Technical Manager, Crydom International.
"Furthermore, the fitted finger-proof cover brings further benefits in terms of reducing component count and assembly time".
The CW series relays offer proven reliability, performance and EMC compliance attainable only by solid-state design.
DC or AC control input versions are available, with zero-cross or random turn-on models available for both.
The range carries all VDE, UL and CSA approvals.
