Applications: Tips
Heat Sink Calculation
Like all semiconductor devices, SSR current ratings must be based on maximum internal junction temperature. All Opto 22 SSRs
operate conservatively at maximum internal junction temperatures of 110 °C. Use the equation below to calculate the maximum
allowable heat sink thermal resistance for your application. It is good engineering practice to provide a margin for error instead of
running the application right at the limits. If your application is near the thermal limit, it can be helpful to add a fan to move air
across the heat sink.
IMPORTANT: Thermally conductive grease must be used between the relay base and the heat sink.
Sample Calculation 1
120-volt, 20-amp load; 50 °C ambient air temperature
Model: 120D25 SSR.
See the last two columns of the table on
the bottom of the table.
Dissipation: 1.3 watts/amp
Thermal resistance: 1.2 °C/watt
Maximum junction temperature: 110 °C
The calculation would be as follows:

This calculation indicates that you
should select a heat sink with a thermal
resistance of less than 1.1 °C/watt.
