SP846 1 Form A Solid State Relay DESCRIPTION The SP846 is a bi-directional, single-pole, single-throw, normally open multipurpose relay. The circuit is composed of one LED on the input side which activates an optically coupled IC on the output - controlling the firing angle of two back-to-back SCRs. This circuit assures no false triggering under most adverse conditions, and a tight zero-volt window not exceeding 5V.

If an AC signal is examined, the turn on, turn off and zero-volt switching can be seen. Figure 1 shows a typical 60 Hz, 120Vac signal with a corresponding relay input signal: 5 Relay Input Signal is Turned On. 1 Relay Input Signal is Turned Off. Input Signal 2 SCR #1 Turns On when 5V threshold is reached. 6 SCR #1 and Relay Turn Off at Zero Volts. 5V Threshold 3 4 SCR #1 Turns Off, SCR #2 Turns On at Zero Volts. SCR #2 Turns Off, SCR #1 Turns On at Zero Volts. Figure 1 shows the sequence of zero-volt switching operation. At Stage 1, an input signal is applied to the relay. The relay will not turn on until the threshold voltage of 5V is reached. Once this point is reached (Stage 2), SCR #1 (designated as the SCR which controls positive AC voltage) turns on. However, SCR #1 only conducts for an instant, as the cycle quickly crosses zero. At this point (Stage 3), SCR #1 will turn off and SCR #2 (negative AC voltage) turns on. Likewise, at the next zero cross (Stage 4), SCR #2 will turn off and SCR #1 conducts again. Even though the input signal is terminated at Stage 5, the relay will continue to conduct (typical SCR behavior) until Stage 6, when SCR #1 crosses zero and ceases to conduct. Please note that turn on can likewise begin on the negative phase of the AC cycle with a -5V threshold, though only the positive phase is shown here. © 2009 Solid State Optronics • San José, CA www.ssousa.com • +1.408.293.4600 Page 3 of 5 SP846 rev 1.42 (9/4/2009) SP846 1 Form A Solid State Relay MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS 16 PIN SINGLE IN-LINE PACKAGE END VIEW SIDE VIEW © 2009 Solid State Optronics • San José, CA www.ssousa.com • +1.408.293.4600 Page 4 of 5 SP846 rev 1.42 (9/4/2009) SP846 1 Form A Solid State Relay DISCLAIMER Solid State Optronics (SSO) makes no warranties or representations with regards to the completeness and accuracy of this document.
