Power Series SSR Accessories

Safety Cover

A plastic safety cover (Opto 22 part number SAFETY COVER) is

available for use with Opto 22 Power Series SSRs. The safety

cover reduces the chance of accidental contact with relay

terminals, while providing access holes for test

instrumentation.

SSR-HS Heatsink

Custom designed for the Power Series SSRs, the SSR-HS

heatsink provides excellent heat dissipation when mounted to

the SSR with a matching thermal conductive pad, which is

used in place of silicon grease. One thermal pad is included

with the heatsink. Additional pads may be purchased in packs

of 10 (part number SSR-THERMOPAD).

Thermal Ratings

The thermal ratings shown in the following graphs were

obtained with an SSR attached to a heatsink using a thermal

conductive pad.

Heatsink Assembly

Before attaching the SSR, remove the protective film from

both sides of the thermal pad, then place the pad on the

heatsink making sure to align the holes. Secure the SSR to the

heatsink with the two 8-32 x 3/8˝ panhead Phillips screws

included in the kit. Use 20 in-lb (2.26 N-m) of torque.

An optional plastic safety cover can be installed on a Power Series SSR.
