Solid-state industrial relay follows today’s slimming trend
By Bill Schweber -- EDN, January 8, 2004
With Fujitsu’s FTR-SL relay, your products can be thin, too. The 1A solid-state relay in a single-inline package measures 5×28×15 mm and is pin-compatible with a Fujitsu electromechanical relay (Picture). Targeting the industrial and appliance markets, this relay comes with 5, 12, 24, and 60V dc nominal control voltages. It can handle 50A surges and a peak voltage of 250V ac. The $5 (10,000) relay integrates a varistors-snubber circuit for overvoltage and overcurrent protection and a zero-crossing circuit to minimize inrush current.
