POWER-IO also does custom designed solid state relays, multi-zone ssr units, custom input ranges for solid state relays, and more. Additional models include: solid state relays for AC loads, and other solid state relay products.

  • Internal, oversized mosfets + advanced metalized ceramic design = increased reliability, less thermal rise, and longer life
  • Internal, IGBT design in the 600 VDC HDD-6V20E and the 900 VDC HDD-9V30E
  • International green LED that indicates input status for fast, visual diagnostics
  • Optically isolated for 1500 volts and 2100 Vpk
  • 10 - 20kHz FAST PWM speeds
  • Ideal for activating robotics, DC servos, PWM dc loads, alternative energy applications, automated test equipment, DC motors, vehicle accessories, battery powered lighting, battery back-up applications, and similar DC applications.
  • All parameters shown are at 40ºC, a factory-hardened specification
  • Versatile high side or low side switching of the load
  • When used with inductive VDC motors, make sure that the relay is at least twice the motor's voltage. (Example: a 48 vdc motor needs a 100 volt relay)

High frequency switching test
©2004 Power-io's high speed test results. High speed is achieved with a strong control signal.		 100% of relays are tested at 10 - 20 kHz @ 50% duty cycle, @ 8V or greater control input, at >10mA, and a 10 volt or greater dc load. With a strong control input signal, this provides:
  • 20kHz PWM speed in the HDD-06V75E to HDD-6V20E models
  • 10kHz PWM speed in the HDD-9V30E
General
Dielectric strength (input-output-base plate) 2100 Vpk, 1500 Vrms
Capacitance input to output 8 pf
Ambient operating temperature range -40 to +85°C. Amperage derating curve decreases from full amperage at 40°C to zero amperage at 100°C when a proper heat sink and air flow pattern are in use. Design your application so that you do not exceed 80% of the max amperage at a given temperature in order to anticipate load variations.
Inductive load protection diode -- recommended for all inductive loads, even "slightly" inductive loads All inductive DC loads require a high speed protective diode across the load. Two recommended choices are:
  • HDD_DIODE = a 2 amp, DO-41 package, 600V reverse voltage, 75ns Buy
  • HDD_DIODE_1000V4A = a 4 amp, DO-201AD package, 1000V reverse voltage, 75ns Buy
These diodes are available in the price list shown above. Normally, the diode is installed across the load. If the wiring is long, the diode should be installed so that it supresses the inductive load AND the inductive long wires. Some high speed loads or h-bridges might use a MOV instead of the diode.
