Applications: Tips
Heat Sink Calculation
based on maximum junction temperature. All Opto 22 SSRs operate
conservatively at maximum junction temperatures of 110° C. Deter-
mining an adequate heat sink for a given SSR conducting a given
current is very simple.
relay base and the heat sink.
Sample Calculation Given
120-Volt, 20-Amp Load; 50° C Ambient Air
Choose Model 120D25 SSR.
Calculate dissipation as: 20 amps x 1.3 Watts per amp = 26 Watts
Calculate temperature rise junction to SSR base as: 26 Watts x 1.2° C per Watt = 31.2° C
Calculate allowable temperature of heat sink by subtracting 31.2° C from 110° C allowable junction temperature:
The heat sink is in a 50°C ambient, therefore, allowable temperature rise on heat sink is: 78.8° C-50° C = 28.8° C
If heat sink is allowed to rise 28.8° C above ambient, then the thermal resistance of the heat sink is simply the 28.8° C rise divided by
the 26 Watt. Any heat sink having a thermal resistance less than 1.1° C per Watt will be adequate.
Duty Cycle Calculation
When solid-state relays are operated in an on/off mode, it may be advantageous to calculate the RMS value of the current through the
SSR for heat sinking or determining the proper current rating of the SSR for the given application.
