Solid State Relays with push-in spring terminals : New value for control panels

Solid State Relays with screw terminals are commonly used but more and more push-in terminals are becoming more prominent in industrial applications, especially due to new technologies now available on the market making it easier to insert wires.


How do push-in terminals work ?

Push-in technology is based on plug-in terminals, in which electrical contact is made and the conductor is fixed in place using a spring. The spring is opened by pushing in the conductor itself : Rigid conductors or conductors equipped with a ferrule can be directly connected without the need for any tools.


New range of celduc® Solid State Relays with push-in spring terminals

celduc® relais has now launched a new range of solid state relays with push-in spring terminals to provide more flexibility and meet the needs of various applications.

celduc® also offers “Ready to use” models with integrated heatsink.


-Three-phase Solid State Relays


Our 3-phase Solid State Relays are also available with push-in terminals to control resistive loads up to 3 x 41A @ 40°C or 3 x 32A @40°C (thyristor rating up to 125A per line).

We offer 2 versions depending on your application :

  • Versions for resistive loads AC-1 : SGTR9XXXXX with TVS protection
  • Versions for all types of loads : SGTR8XXXXX with RC+VDR protection


celduc® also offers “Ready to use” models with integrated heatsink.


-Four-Legs Solid State Relays


Integrating 4 single-phase relays in a “sightpac” style housing, our SMQR product family is the best choice to reduce the size of your control panel (compact 45 mm version). This range is suitable to control resistive loads up to 4 x 41A @ 40°C.


celduc® also offers “Ready to use” models with integrated heatsink.


What are the advantages of push-in terminals ?

“Push-In” connections offer many of advantages :

  1. STRONG
    Push-in connections are strong and reliable.
  2. FLEXIBLE
    Push-in connections are suitable for various conductors : solid conductors, for stranded conductors, and for fine-stranded conductors with crimped-on ferrules.
  3. SAFE
    Push-in connections avoid downtime, maintenance, and reduce costs.
    – No heat risk
    – No risk of breaking the terminal inside the product
    – Retightening of screws is no longer necessary and operation in vibrating environments is no longer a problem (Retightening screws is often necessary for screw terminals, but with push-in plus, there is no (re)tightening).
    – Touchproof protection without a coverWith celduc new range of Solid state relays with push-in terminals, you will benefit from vibration-proof, fast and maintenance-free connections.
  4. FAST
    Less wiring and work with the new relay series with push-in plus technology : Fast wiring, even in tight spaces !
    Just insert the wires – no tools required. Do all your wiring in less than half the time needed with screw type terminals.
    Replacing a damaged relay is now quick and easy.


Conclusion

In comparison with screw terminals, push-in terminals are not only easier to handle, but also offer significant time and cost advantages over the entire life cycle of a system. Faster commissioning reduces upfront costs, and maintenance-free connections provide long-term savings. Furthermore, maintenance-free spring pressure connection technology offer a greater system uptime and equipment reliability.
