Sensata-Crydom Expands Relay Offering for Transportation Applications
February18, 2020
Utilizing a solid state design, Sensata-Crydom relays perform efficiently and consistently in harsh environments. The expanded offering now includes DIN rail mount solid state relays, PCB mount solid state relays, control relays, panel mount DC output, and panel mount DC solid state contactors.
Solid state relays contactors have no moving parts. Therefore, there is no mechanical wear and tear on the output contact, ideal for repetitive applications. In addtion, they make no acoustical noise when the output contacts change state. This is highly desirable in many commercial and medical applications.
Solid state relays and contactors require very little input power “coil current” to switch large loads. Zero voltage turn-on and zero current turn-off allows for minimum electrical disturbances generated by solid state relays and contactors.
These advantages, and its resistance to shock and vibration make Sensata-Crydom SSRs the ideal choice to perform in harsh environment applications such as mobile heating and air-conditioning (HVAC) in a variety of transports. Train door actuators, rail road signaling and traffic control systems are also common applications for SSRs in the transportation market because of their compact design, fast switching capability and of course their compatibility with control systems.
Sensata-Crydom’s DC output relays and Low Voltage Disconnect solutions are also used in specialty vehicles helping protect batteries from deep cycle discharge especially useful in vehicles such as RV’s, emergency vehicles, boats & yachts, agricultural equipment, material handling equipment, small construction equipment, among others.
