VERSATILE SOLID-STATE RELAY RANGE OFFERS HIGH RELIABILITY
15 October 2004 - Switchtec Electronics Ltd

The versatile Hongfa range of solid-state relays is available from specialist distributor Switchtec. With no moving parts, the relays offer improved reliability over mechanical types, offering designers and manufacturers the opportunity to 'fit and forget' in applications where repeated switching duties are required.

Aimed at panel builders, OEMs, manufacturers and assemblers, the applications for solid-state relays are virtually endless. They can be used wherever switching is required, in applications as diverse as heating control, motor control, PLC control, through to home appliances and entertainment systems.

Manufacturers are looking for greater reliability from relays. Hongfa SSRs offer just the solution and also provide high speed and high frequency operation. They are particularly suited to applications where repeated switching is required over a long period of time. As the SSRs have no mechanical contacts, there is no possibility of contact degradation, therefore no possibility of contact weld or contact damage of any sort.

The Hongfa SSRs from Switchtec are available in PCB and base mount options and range from 4mA to 80A rating, offering designers a wide range of devices to use in many applications.

Designed and manufactured to be compatible with commonly used industry designs, the SSRs are direct alternatives to other major manufacturers, as well as offering leading designs and specifications in their own right.

Hongfa has invested heavily in new machinery, equipment and product training to produce a full and highly specified range of SSRs. Delivery times from Switchtec for the SSRs will be first class. Says Switchtec's Jeremy Lester, 'We have been working with Hongfa for some time now, and their lead times are excellent. Of course we will carry stocks of the most popular solid state relays to meet ongoing needs, but in any case lead times can be as low as five weeks from Hongfa, whereas ten to twelve weeks is more normal from far east manufacturers.'

Hongfa produces 250 million relays each year and has a quality policy that states simply, 'To provide our customers with the best quality products and services'. As high quality relays, the Hongfa SSRs from Switchtec will offer its customers greater reliability and confidence.
