Panasonic Corporation Electromechanical Control Business Division
industrial.panasonic.com/ac/e/ Panasonic Corporation 2022
Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays
SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not use the product under conditions that exceed the range of
its specications. It may cause overheating, smoke, or re.
Do not touch the recharging unit while the power is on. There is a
danger of electrical shock.
Be sure to turn o 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 re.
Cautions for Use of Solid State Relays
Derating design
Derating is a signicant 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 suciently 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 pins)
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 specied load. In
such an event, use a dummy resistor in parallel with the load.

Design in accordance with the recommended operating conditions
for each product.
Since these conditions are aected by the operating environment,
ensure conformance with all relevant specications.
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
Emin. Emax.

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 o. This may occur even if
voltage rise between terminals is less than the repetitive
peak OFF-state voltage. Therefore, please perform sucient
tests with actual conditions.
5) When controlling loads in which the voltage and current
phases dier, a sudden voltage rise is applied during turn-
o, and the triac sometimes does not turn o. Please
conduct sucient tests using actual equipment.
6) When controlling loads using zero-cross voltage types in
which the voltage and current phases dier, the triac
sometimes does not turn on regardless of the input state, so
please conduct sucient tests using actual equipment.
Cleaning (for PC board mounting type)
Cleaning the solder ux 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
Others : Float PC board and the device in the cleaning
solvent to prevent from contacting the ultrasonic
vibrator.
Note: Applies to unit area ultrasonic output for ultrasonic baths
Notes for mounting (for PC board mounting type)
1) When dierent 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 conrm the temperature condition of actual
usage before soldering.
2) When mounting condition exceeds our recommendation, the
device characteristics may be adversely aected. It may
occur package crack or bonding wire breaking because of
thermal expansion unconformity and resin strength
reduction. Please contact our sales oce about the propriety
of the condition.
3) Please conrm 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
aected 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.

We recommend one with an alloy composition of Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu.
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 o 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 °C
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 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
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 conrm 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 re due to a
high load voltage rise rate (dv/dt), even though the load voltage is
below the allowable level (inductive load ring).
Our SSRs contain a snubber circuit designed to reduce dv/dt (except
AQ-H).
Selecting the snubber constants
1) C selection
The charging coecient 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 lm. 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
Load power supply
Inductive load
Snubber circuit

VA

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 ow.
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 dier 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×VA2×f
2………③
f=Power supply frequency
Also, at turn-o 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 lm resistors or
metal lm 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 signicant eect on
device function and life time. The rated load current for PC board-
mounting SSRs is dened as the maximum current allowable at an
ambient temperature of 40 °C (30 °C) and under natural cooling. If the
ambient temperature exceeds the SSRs derating temperature point [40
°C (30 °C)], 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.
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/o 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 × √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-o device
Use a current limiting fuse or circuit breaker in series with the load
power supply.

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 counter-EMF.
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.
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.
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 o. In such an event, use a dummy resistor in parallel with the
load.
Using an SSR below the specied load
Load power supply
Load
SSR Output
Dummy resistor
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 lters in the primary
supply circuit.
The capacitors used in the line lters may cause the SSR to
malfunction due to dv/dt turn on when the equipment is turned on or
o. 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.
