SIL type SSR with
9mm thickness
controls up to 3A
AQ8 RELAYS
FEATURES
Compliance with RoHS Directive
1. Slim with 9 mm .354 inch thickness
The thin type (45 mm long × 24 mm high
× 9 mm wide) (1.772×.945×.354 inch)
permits high density mounting.
2. Excellent in noise resistance
Since the input and output are insulated
by the phototriac coupler, the noise on
the output side is not fed back to the input
side.
3. Snubber circuit integrated
The snubber circuit is integrated to
prevent malfunction caused by the rapid
rise of the voltage on the output side,
such as inductive load and noise.
4. Zero-cross and random types are
available.
The zero-cross type generates minimal
noise by suppressing occurrence of radio
frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
The random type features a short
operation time which permits phase
control.
5. High dielectric strength: 3,000 V AC
(between input and output)
6. Two kinds of terminals distance are
available. (5.08 mm and 7.62 mm) (.200
and .300 inch)
7. High reliability, long life and
maintenance-free
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Most suitable as drivers for small size AC
motors, solenoids, solenoid valves and
so on.
1. Copying equipment
2. Air conditioners
3. Industrial equipment such as NC
machines, sequencers, robots, etc.

NOTE
1. When used for the load less than
rated
In case of the load current less than
rated, malfunction may result from the
residual voltage across the both ends of
the load even if the solid state relay is
turned off. Use a dummy resistor as a
countermeasure.
The total of the current through the
resistor and the load current must exceed
the min. rated load current.

In case the dummy resistor is not used,
keep in mind that the residual voltage
becomes as follows:
Example:
For the inductive load by the 20 mA load
current and the 200 V AC load voltage,
the load impedance becomes 10 k Ω and
Ve/V = 14% is estimated from the right
above graph. Accordingly, the 28 V
voltage remains across the both ends of
the load when the solid state relay is
turned off.
2. when the terminal is bent
Care shall be taken neither to apply
mechanical stresses to the mold area of
the solid state relay nor to bend the
terminal 45 degrees or more.
