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.
They are high temperature rated (150C) with superior committing (high dv/dt and di/dt) capabilities permitting snubberless designs for highly inductive loads.
They are available in 16 and 25A ratings, up to 800V peak.
The CRN Series of rectifiers are available in 15, 20 and 25A ratings, up to 1000V peak.
They offer exceptional full cycle nonrepetitive surge peak on-state current ratings ranging from 225 to 350A.
The CYN Series of SCRs are available in 16 and 25A ratings, up to 1000V peak.
They are suitable for general purpose AC switching applications.
The CT Series of triac (or triac-alternistor versions) come in 6, 8, 12, 16 and 25A ratings, up to 1000V peak.
Trigger level options are available making them broadly suitable for logic/microcontroller control, or for more robust applications.
SCRs, triacs, alternistors and rectifiers offered for use in the popular TO-220 package will have lead-free finishes on all connections.
This is in response to increasing global concern by customers and standards authorities to reduce the amounts of toxic consumer electronics waste caused by lead and other hazardous substances, as reflected in the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS).
"We have created every configuration of solid state relays imaginable, and we continue to set the standard in this field", says Bruce McEachran of Crydom International.
"As sticklers for quality we have build our own proprietary SCR and triac semiconductors - the heart of every Crydom SSR and power module".
"Others can now have the benefits of our high performance components".
Now Crydom offers its high reliability line of semiconductors in the market place to help meet tough engineering challenges in a wide range of applications.
