Grove (SSR) V2 uses power semiconductor devices such as thyristors and transistors, which provide a much faster switching speed than mechanical relays. The Grove - Solid State Relay V2 is based on the high-quality G3MC202P module, which allows you to use a 5VDC to control MAX. 240V AC. With the help of the Grove interface, it becomes very convenient to use the SSR with your Arduino
Highlighted Features
- Solid-state relays have much faster switching speeds than electromechanical relays, and have no physical contacts to wear out.
- Totally silent operation.
- No physical contact means no sparking, which allows it to be used in explosive environments, where it is critical that no spark is generated during switching.
- Increased lifetime, even if activated many times, as there are no moving parts to wear and no contacts to pit or build up carbon.
- Compact, thin-profile SSR of Monoblock construction with an all-in-one lead frame incorporates a PCB, terminals, and heat sink, which is much smaller than mechanical relays and can integrate more channels.
Applications
-
Operations that require low-latency switching, e.g. stage light control.
-
Devices that require high stability, e.g. medical devices, and traffic signals.
-
Situations that require explosion-proof, anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, e.g. coal, and chemical industries.
