Cautions for Use of Solid State Rela s y 

## SAFETY WARNINGS 

- Do not use the product under conditions that exceed the range of its specifications. It may cause overheating, smoke, or fire. 

- Do not touch the recharging unit while the power is on. There is a danger of electrical shock. Be sure to turn off the power when performing mounting, maintenance, or repair operations on the relay ( including connecting parts such as the terminal board and socket ) . 

- Check the connection diagrams in the catalog and be sure to connect the terminals correctly. If the device is energized with short circuit or any wrong connection, it may cause unexpected malfunction, abnormal heat or fire. 

## Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays 

## ■Derating design 

Derating is a significant factor for reliable design and product life. Even if the conditions of use ( temperature, current, voltage, etc. ) of the product are within the absolute maximum ratings, reliability may be lowered remarkably when continuously used in high load conditions 

( high temperature, high humidity, high current, high voltage, etc. ) Therefore, please derate sufficiently below the absolute maximum ratings and evaluate the device in the actual condition. 

Moreover, regardless of the application, if malfunctioning can be expected to pose high risk to human life or to property, or if products are used in equipment otherwise requiring high operational safety, in addition to designing double circuits, that is, incorporating features such as a protection circuit or a redundant circuit, safety testing should also be carried out. 

## ■ Applying stress that exceeds the absolute maximum rating 

If the voltage or current value for any of the terminals exceeds the absolute maximum rating, internal elements will deteriorate because of the overvoltage or overcurrent. In extreme cases, wiring may melt, or silicon P/N junctions may be destroyed. 

Therefore, the circuit should be designed in such a way that the load never exceed the absolute maximum ratings, even momentarily. 

## ■Phototriac coupler 

The phototriac coupler is designed solely to drive a triac. As a condition, the triac must be powered beforehand. 

## ■Unused terminals 

## 1)  Phototriac coupler 

The No. 3 terminal is used with the circuit inside the device.Therefore, do not connect it to the external circuitry. ( 6-pin ) 

## 2)  AQ-H 

The No. 5 terminal is connected to the gate. 

Do not directly connect No. 5 and 6 terminals. 

## ■Short across terminals 

Do not short circuit between terminals when device is energized, since there is possibility of breaking of the internal IC. 

## ■When used for the load less than rated 

An SSR may malfunction if it is used below the specified load. In such an event, use a dummy resistor in parallel with the load.

## Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays 

- 3)  Clamp diode and snubber circuit can limit spike voltages at the load side. However, long wires may cause spike voltages due to inductance. It is recommended to keep wires as short as possible to minimize inductance. 

- 4)  Output terminals may become conductive although the input power is not applied, when a sudden voltage rise is applied to it even when the relay is off. This may occur even if voltage rise between terminals is less than the repetitive peak OFF-state voltage. Therefore, please perform sufficient tests with actual conditions. 

- 5)  When controlling loads in which the voltage and current phases differ, a sudden voltage rise is applied during turnoff, and the triac sometimes does not turn off. Please conduct sufficient tests using actual equipment. 

- 6)  When controlling loads using zero-cross voltage types in which the voltage and current phases differ, the triac sometimes does not turn on regardless of the input state, so please conduct sufficient tests using actual equipment. 

■Cleaning ( for PC board mounting type ) Cleaning the solder flux should use the immersion washing with an organic solvent. If you have to use ultrasonic cleaning, please adopt the following conditions and check that there are no problems in the actual usage. 

- Frequency            : 27 to 29 kHz 

- Ultrasonic output: No greater than 0.25 W/cm[2] * 

- Cleaning time      : 30 s or less 

- Others                 :  Float PC board and the device in the cleaning solvent to prevent from contacting the ultrasonic vibrator. 

* Applies to unit area ultrasonic output for ultrasonic baths 

- ■Notes for mounting ( for PC board mounting type ) 

- 1)  When different kinds of packages are mounted on PC board, temperature rise at soldering lead is highly dependent on package size. Therefore, please set the lower temperature soldering condition than the conditions of item " 14. Soldering " and confirm the temperature condition of actual usage before soldering. 

- 2)  When mounting condition exceeds our recommendation, the device characteristics may be adversely affected. It may occur package crack or bonding wire breaking because of thermal expansion unconformity and resin strength reduction. Please contact our sales office about the propriety of the condition. 

- 3)  Please confirm the heat stress by using actual board because it may be changed by board condition or manufacturing process condition 

## ■Soldering 

- 1)  When soldering surface-mount terminals, the following conditions are recommended. 

   - ①  IR ( Infrared reflow ) soldering method ( Recommended condition reflow: Max. 2 times, measurement point: soldering lead )

Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays 

## ■Others 

- 1)  If an SSR is used in close proximity to another SSR or heat-generating device, its ambient temperature may exceed the allowable level. Carefully plan SSR layout and ventilation. 

- 2)  Terminal connections should be made by referring to the associated wiring diagram. 

- 3)  For higher reliability, check device quality under actual operating conditions. 

- 4)  To prevent the danger of electrocution, turn off the power supply when performing maintenance. Although AQ-A ( DC output type ) is constructed with insulation for the input/output terminals and the rear aluminum plate, the insulation between the input/output and the rear aluminum plate is not UL approved. 

## ■Transportation and storage 

- 1)  Extreme vibration during transport may deform the lead or damage the device characteristics. Please handle the outer and inner boxes with care. 

- 2)  Inadequate storage condition may degrade soldering, appearance, and characteristics. The following storage conditions are recommended: Temperature: 0 to 45 ℃ Humidity       : Max. 70 %RH 

   - Atmosphere :  No harmful gasses such as sulfurous acid gas, minimal dust. 

- 3)  Storage of Phototriac coupler ( SOP type ) In case the heat stress of soldering is applied to the device which absorbs moisture inside of its package, the evaporation of the moisture increases the pressure inside the package and it may cause the package blister or crack. This device is sensitive to moisture and it is packed in the sealed moisture-proof package. Please make sure the following condition after unsealing. 

   - Please use the device immediately after unsealing. ( Within 30 days at 0 to 45 ℃ and Max. 70 %RH ) 

   - If the device will be kept for a long time after unsealing, please store in the another moisture-proof package containing silica gel. ( Please use within 90 days. ) 

## ■Water condensation 

Water condensation occurs when the ambient temperature changes suddenly from a high temperature to low temperature at high humidity, or the device is suddenly transferred from a low ambient temperature to a high temperature and humidity. Condensation causes the failures such as insulation deterioration. Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. does not guarantee the failures caused by water condensation. 

The heat conduction by the equipment the SSR is mounted may accelerate the water condensation. Please confirm that there is no condensation in the worst condition of the actual usage. ( Special attention should be paid when high temperature heating parts are close to the SSR. )

## Snubber Circuit 

## ■Reduce dv/dt 

An SSR used with an inductive load can accidentally fire due to a high load voltage rise rate ( dv/dt ) , even though the load voltage is below the allowable level ( inductive load firing ) . 

Our SSRs contain a snubber circuit designed to reduce dv/dt ( except AQ-H ) . 

## ■Selecting the snubber constants 

## 1)  C selection 

The charging coefficient tau for C of the SSR circuit is shown in formula ① 

τ ＝ ( RL ＋ R ) × C ………① 

By setting formula ① so that it is below dv/dt value you have: 

C ＝ 0.632 VA/ [ ( dv/dt ) ( RL＋R ) ] ………② 

By setting C ＝ 0.1 to 0.2 µF, dv/dt can be controlled to between nV/µs and n ＋ V/µs or lower. For the condenser, use either an MP condenser metallized polyester film. For the 100 V line, use a voltage between 250 and 400 V, and for the 200 V line, use a voltage between 400 and 600 V. 

2) R selection 

**==> picture [142 x 72] intentionally omitted <==**

SSR<br>RL<br>1<br>Inductive load<br>R VA<br>C<br>2<br>Snubber circuit<br>Load power supply<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


If there is no resistance R ( the resistance R controls the discharge current from condenser C ) , at turn-on of the SSR,  there will be a sharp rise in dv/dt and the high peak value discharge current will begin to flow. 

This may cause damage to the internal elements of the SSR. Therefore, it is always necessary to insert a resistance R. In normal applications, for the 100 V line, have R ＝ 10 to 100 Ω and for the 200 V line, 

have R ＝ 20 to 100 Ω. ( The allowable discharge current at turn on will differ depending on the internal elements of the SSR. ) The power loss from R, written as P, caused by the discharge current and charging current from C, is shown in formula ③ below. For the 100 V line, use a power of 1/2 W, and for the 200 V line, use a power above 2 W. 

**==> picture [80 x 19] intentionally omitted <==**

**==> picture [99 x 9] intentionally omitted <==**

Also, at turn-off of the SSR, a ringing circuit is formed with the capacitor C and the circuit inductance L, and a spike voltage is generated at both terminals of the SSR. The resistance R serves as a control resistance to prevent this ringing. Moreover, a good non-inductive resistance for R is required. Carbon film resistors or metal film resistors are often used. 

For general applications, the recommended values are C ＝ 0.1 µF and R ＝ 20 to 100 Ω. There are cases of resonance in the inductive load, so the appropriate care must be taken when making your selections.

## Thermal Design 

SSRs used in high-reliability equipment require careful thermal design. In particular, junction temperature control has a significant effect on device function and life time. The rated load current for PC board-mounting SSRs is defined as the maximum current allowable at an ambient temperature of 40 ℃*[1] and under natural cooling. If the ambient temperature exceeds the SSRs derating temperature point ( 40 ℃ ) , load current derating in accordance with the load current vs temperature diagram becomes necessary. If adjacent devices act as heat sources, the SSR should be located more than 10 mm away from those devices. SSRs with a 5 A rating or more must be used with the dedicated heat sinks listed in Table 1 or equivalents. To ensure adequate thermal conduction, apply thermal conductive compound ( Ex. Momentive Performance Materials Inc. YG6111 or TSK5303 ) to the SSR's mounting surface. For information on external heat sinks for our SSRs and their mounting method, refer to " Data and Cautions for Use for respective relay " . 

*1: It may vary the product and usage conditions. Please check for each product.

Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays 

## Protection Circuit 

High-reliability SSR circuits require an adequate protection circuit, as well as careful study of the characteristics and maximum ratings of the device. 

## 2)  Suppress transient spikes 

   - Use a switching device in the secondary circuit of a transformer or use a switch with a slow opening speed. 

- 3)  Use a surge absorption circuit 

## ■Over-Voltage Protection 

The SSR load power supply requires adequate protection against over-voltage errors from various causes. The methods of over-voltage protection include the following: 

- 1)  Use devices with a guaranteed reverse surge withstand voltage 

   - ( controlled avalanche devices, etc. ) 

- Use a CR surge absorber or varistor across the load power supply or SSR. 

- Special care must be taken so power on/off surges or external surges do not exceed the device’s rated load voltage. If a surge voltage exceeding the device’ s rated voltage is anticipated, use a surge absorption device and circuit ( e.g. a ZNR from Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd. ). 

## Choosing the rated voltage of the ZNR 

- ① Peak supply voltage 

- ② Supply voltage variation 

- ③ Degradation of ZNR characteristic ( 1 mA ±10 % ) 

- ④  Tolerance of rated voltage ( ±10 % ) For application to 100 V AC lines, choose a ZNR with the following rated voltage: 

   - ① × ② × ③ × ④ ＝ ( 100 × √2 ) × 1.1 × 1.1 × 1.1 ＝ 188 ( V )

## ■Over-Current Protection 

An SSR circuit operated without overcurrent protection may result in damage to the device. Design the circuit so the device's rated junction temperature is not exceeded for a continuous overload current. 

- ( e.g. Surge current into a motor or light bulb ) 

The surge-on current rating applies to over-current errors which occur less than several tens of times during the service life of a semiconductor device. A protection coordination device is required for this rating. 

Methods of over-current protection include the following: 

- 1)  Suppressing over-currents 

Use a current limiting reactor in series with the load power supply. 

- 2)  Use a current shut-off device Use a current limiting fuse or circuit breaker in series with the load power supply.

Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays 

## Load Type Description 

## ■Heaters ( Resistive load ) 

The SSR is best suited to resistive loads. Noise levels can be drastically lowered with zero-crossing switching. 

## ■Lamps 

Tungsten or halogen lamps draw a high inrush current when turned on ( approximately 7 to 8 times the steady state current for zero-crossing SSRs; approximately 9 to 12 times, in the worst case, for random type SSRs ) . Choose an SSR so the peak of the inrush current does not exceed 50 % of the SSR surgeon current. 

## ■Motors load 

When starting, an electric motor draws a symmetrical AC starting current some 5 to 8 times the steady-state load current, superimposed on a DC current. The starting time during which this high starting current is sustained depends on the capacities of the load and load power supply. Measure the starting current and time under the motor's actual operating conditions and choose an SSR so the peak of the starting current does not exceed 50 % of the SSR surge-on current. 

When the motor load is deactivated, a voltage exceeding the load supply voltage is applied to the SSR due to counterEMF. 

This voltage is approximately 1.3 times the load supply voltage for induction motors, and approximately 2 times that for synchronous motors. 

- ●Reversible motor control 

When the direction of motor rotation is reversed, the transient current and time required for the reversal far exceed those required for simple starting. The reversing current and time should also be measured under actual operating conditions. 

## ■Solenoids 

AC-driven solenoid contactors or solenoid valves also draw inrush current when they are activated. Choose an SSR such that the peak of the inrush current does not exceed 50 % of the SSR surgeon current. For small solenoid valves and AC relays in particular, a leakage current may cause the load to malfunction after the SSR turns off. In such an event, use a dummy resistor in parallel with the load. 

- ●Using an SSR below the specified load 

**==> picture [134 x 75] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Dummy resistor<br>Load<br>SSR Output Load power supply<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## ■Capacitive load 

A capacitive load ( switching regulator, etc. ) draws an inrush current to charge the load capacitor when the SSR turns on. Choose an SSR so the peak of the inrush current does not exceed 50 % of the SSR surge-on current. A timing error of up to one cycle can occur when a switch used in series with the SSR is opened or closed. If this is a problem, use an inductor ( 200 to 500 µH ) in series to the SSR to suppress dv/dt error. 

## ■Other electronic equipment 

In general, electronic equipment uses line filters in the primary supply circuit. 

The capacitors used in the line filters may cause the SSR to malfunction due to dv/dt turn on when the equipment is turned on or off. In such an event, use an inductor ( 200 to 500 µH ) in series with the SSR to suppress dv/dt turn on. 

For a capacitor-starting, single-phase induction motor, a capacitive discharge current appears during the reversal process. Be sure to use a current limiting resistor or reactor in series with the SSR. 

Also, the SSR should have a high marginal voltage rating, since a voltage twice as high as the load supply voltage develops across the SSR in the reversal process. For reversible motor control, carefully design the driver circuit so the forward and reverse SSRs do not turn on at the same time.
