Sensata Crydom DRA1 SERIES Series Solid State Relay, 3 A Load, PCB Mount, 60 V dc Load, 32 V dc Control

This solid-state relay from Sensata | Crydom makes controlling your electrical equipment a cinch. Install it onto a PCB, and you'll get lightning-fast switching speeds of up to 100μs to boost productivity. The current rating of 3A makes this component just the thing for use in low-power applications. This unit's thermally conductive epoxy coating dissipates heat like a champ, so it won't break a sweat in challenging conditions. It's commonly used in medical equipment and robotics applications.

• Broad operating temperature range between -40°C and +80°C for use in demanding environments
• Compact dimensions of 43.1 (L) x 10.2 (D) x 25.4 mm (H) to maximise space on your PCB
• Operating voltage range between 3 and 60V DC for use in low-voltage systems

SSRs stand head and shoulders above their electromechanical counterparts. Since there are no moving parts, SSRs don't wear down quickly and switch on and off faster, making them ideal for sensitive electronics applications.
