Sensata Crydom MCX Series Solid State Relay, 5 A Load, DIN Rail Mount, 280 V Load, 15 V Control

When it comes to current control, pull out all the stops with this solid-state relay from Sensata | Crydom. It switches power off and on for the convenient automated control of your industrial applications. A broad operating voltage range between 12 and 280V AC means it's just the thing for a wide variety of low-power systems. This versatile tool is suitable for use in lighting, heating and motion-based equipment.

• Maximum turn-on and turn-off time of half a cycle for rapid-fire switching
• Performs reliably in extreme environments, thanks to a wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +80°C

This small but mighty SSR has compact dimensions of 43.1 (L) x 10.2 (W) x 26.04mm (H), so it's a sure fit for a densely packed PCB.

The main difference is that SSRs don’t have any moving parts. This gives them a longer operational life, as they're subject to less wear and tear than electromechanical relays.
