Industry First - Slim Line Solid State Relay From Magnecraft
Northfield, IL, October 23, 2007-Schneider Electric Relays, LLC announces the new Magnecraft 861 Solid State Relay Series - a modular RoHS compliant model capable of switching up to 15 Amps (DC) and 10 Amps (AC).
The 861 SSR Series simplifies usage, extends product life and protects itself from internal failure. Heat sinking capability is built into the relay to eliminate the need for heat dissipation calculations and the procurement of an additional device to handle this function. The compact, 17.5 mm modular design along with the integrated heat sink saves valuable real estate on din rails and panels. The 861 SSR Series provides flexible mounting options in a single part number to accommodate any design format.
Three key features - 100% solid state operation, an integrated snubber, isolated input and output circuits - ensure product reliability. The 861 SSR Series is the only slim line relay available that does not have any moving parts which provides the added benefit of silent operation.
Mike O'Donnell, Magnecraft Marketing Product Manager, says; "The high current rating combined with the solid state circuitry extends product life and improves performance relative to electro-mechanical relays. The 861 SSR Series is ideal for applications that demand reliability such as medical equipment and lighting."
the Magnecraft 861 Series relays offer flexible mounting options. The relays can mount to panels with the extendable tabs as well as to DIN rails. Finger-safe terminals are a standard feature to protect operators from live currents and accidental shocks.
