Solid State Relay With Contact Suppression
Watlow's solid state relay changes state at zero volts, which is "zero-cross switching." They
are also optically isolated, which means the output circuitry is energized by infrared light
striking a photosensitive device. This results in a virtual absence of electrically generated
noise, and provides electrical isolation between the input and output. For use in switching
mercury relays or small AC loads. Off state impedance is 20K
Ω
minimum.

Switched DC
Watlow's solid state switch is a low current DC output (open collector) used to switch an
external power switching device such as a SSR or an electromechanical relay. The input
specifications of the power switching device must match those listed for the S.S. switch
output. The power switching device must provide isolation between the S.S. switch output
and load power since the S.S. switch output is a non-isolated output. Minimum load
resistance is 500
Ω
. Available current is 9mA minimum and 22mA maximum.
