Overview
The Crydom D2440 solid state relay delivers rugged, maintenance-free switching for AC loads in industrial automation and control systems. Rated for 40A continuous load current across 24–280VAC, this SPST-NO (single-pole single-throw normally open) relay features zero-crossing switching to minimize electromagnetic interference and circuit stress. Its DC control input range of 3–32VDC makes integration straightforward with standard PLC and controller outputs.
Key Features
- 40A load current rating at 24–280VAC operating range
- Zero-crossing switching reduces EMI and inrush current on resistive loads
- SPST-NO configuration for simple on/off load control
- Aluminum base plate and DBC (direct bond copper) substrate for superior heat dissipation and reliability
- Screw terminals with improved SEMS screws for secure, tool-friendly connections
- Panel-mount hockey puck design fits standard 3.5-inch control enclosures; EMC level-3 compliant
