celduc relais: PCB Mount Solid State Relays

Industrial applications such as professional food equipment, medical equipment, and renewable energy systems require devices with smaller footprints. Solid state relays (SSR) provide the advantages of long service life expectancy, no contact bounce or arching, zero-crossing capability, low power input, and high resistance to shock and vibration. In addition, PCB mount solid state relays provide space savings and have specific power requirements.
