Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays
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 socket 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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Phototriac coupler
The phototriac coupler is designed solely to drive a triac. As a
condition, the triac must be powered beforehand.

7. Noise and surge protection at the input side
1) Phototriac coupler and AQ-H
If reverse surge voltages are present at the input terminals,
connect a diode in reverse parallel across the input terminals
and keep the reverse voltages below the reverse breakdown
voltage.
Typical circuits are below shown.

2) SSR
A high noise surge voltage applied to the SSR input circuit can
cause malfunction or permanent damage to the device. If such a
high surge is anticipated, use C or R noise absorber in the input
circuit.
Typical circuits are below shown
R
4. 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 pins)
2) AQ-H
The No. 5 terminal is connected to the gate.
Do not directly connect No. 5 and 6 terminals.

5. Short across terminals
Do not short circuit between terminals when device is energized,
since there is possibility of breaking of the internal IC.
6. 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.
8. Recommended input current of Phototriac coupler and
AQ-H
Design in accordance with the recommended operating
conditions for each product.
Since these conditions are affected by the operating
environment, ensure conformance with all relevant
specifications.

9. Ripple in the input power supply
If ripple is present in the input power supply, observe the
following:
1) Current-sensitive type (Phototriac Coupler, AQ-H)
(1) For LED forward current at Emin, please maintain the value
mentioned at “Recommended input current.”
(2) Please make sure the LED forward current for Emax. is no
higher than 50 mA.
2) Voltage-sensitive type (AQ-G, AQ1, AQ8, AQ-J, AQ-A)
(1) The Emin. should exceed the minimum rated control voltage
(2) The Emax. should not exceed the maximum rated control
voltage

12. 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 29kHz
• Ultrasonic output: No greater than 0.25W/cm2 (Note)
• Cleaning time: 30s or less
• Cleanser used: Asahiklin AK-225
• Others: Float PC board and the device in the cleaning solvent
to prevent from contacting the ultrasonic vibrator.
13. 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
4) Solder creepage, wettability, or soldering strength will be
affected by the mounting condition or used soldering type.
Please check them under the actual production condition in
detail.
5) Please apply coating when the device returns to a room
temperature.

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 turn-off,
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.

*1 Solder temperature: Max. 260°C 500°F
16. 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°C 32 to 113°F
• 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°C 32 to 113°F 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.)
17. 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 Corporation 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.)
(2) Other dip soldering method (recommended condition: 1 time)
Preheating: Max. 120°C 248°F, within 120 s, measurement
point: soldering lead
Soldering: Max. 260°C 500°F, within 5 s*, measurement area:
soldering temperature
*Phototriac coupler and AQ-H: within 10 s
(3) Manual soldering method
Tip temperature: 350 to 400°C 662 to 752°F
Wattage: 30 to 60 W
Soldering time: within 3 s
• We recommend one with an alloy composition of
Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu.
15. Others
1) If an SSR is used in close proximity to another SSR or heatgenerating 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.

Snubber Circuit
1. 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).
2. 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=0.632VA/[(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

ー 11 ー
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.
P= C × VA × f ------------ 3

f = Power supply frequency
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°C 104°F
(30°C 86°F) and under natural cooling. If the ambient
temperature exceeds the SSRs derating temperature point
[40°C 104°F (30°C 86°F)], 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”.

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.
1. 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.)
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
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 Corporation).
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 × M2) × 1.1 × 1.1 × 1.1 = 188 (V)

2. 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.

Load Type Description
1. Heaters (Resistive load)
The SSR is best suited to resistive loads. Noise levels can be
drastically lowered with zero-crossing switching.
2. 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.
3. 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
Dummy resistor
Load
SSR
Output
Load power supply
4. 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 counter-EMF.
This voltage is approximately 1.3 times the load supply voltage
for induction motors, and approximately 2 times that for
synchronous motors.
ー 13 ー
• 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.
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.
5. 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.
6. 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.

• Conditions become more harsh if plugging or inching
is performed since state transitions are repeated.
• When using a relay to control a DC motor and brake,
the on time inrush current, steady-state current and
off time brake current differ depending on whether
the load to the motor is free or locked. In particular,
with non-polarized relays, when using from B contact
of from contact for the DC motor brake, mechanical
life might be affected by the brake current.
Therefore, please verify current at the actual load.
