New 1 amp fault protected solid state relay with integrated current limiting and thermal shutdown

16 January 2021

Littelfuse Inc., a provider of circuit protection, power control and sensing solutions, has launched the CPC1561B solid state relay (SSR). The CPC1561B is the highest current (1 A, 60 V) normally open SSR currently available on the market to integrate both current limiting and thermal shutdown circuits.

The small, surface-mount CPC1561B SSR’s dual fault protection benefit provides a rugged solution for demanding applications that is not possible when using electro-mechanical relays and standard SSRs. Typical markets and applications include smart homes, building automation, gaming, instrumentation and battery Source: Littelfuse Inc.Source: Littelfuse Inc.powered systems.

"The CPC1561B is ideal for markets and applications that cannot be down for long periods of time due to over current, over temperature and electrical stress," said Steve Andrezyk, director of marketing for Littelfuse-IXYS Integrated Circuits. "The CPC1561B output relay can survive harsh conditions and resume normal operation once the fault is removed, thus reducing product down time and potentially eliminating service call time as the SSR both protects itself and resets to resume normal operation."

The CPC1561B enhances electronics capabilities to survive fault conditions through active current limiting and adapts to fault conditions using thermal shutdown fault mode protection at 128˚C die temperature. The SSR also reduces equipment downtime and high cost of repair by utilizing recovery with auto-reset capabilities, thus avoiding system failures, and offers input-output galvanic isolation via 3750 Vrms input-to-output isolation. The CPC1561B is available in tape and reel format.
