Test equipment within the semiconductor industry needs to provide high test speeds and precision. Switching of any resistive or motor loads must have minimal response time. Due to the high switching cycles, solid state contactors are the ideal solution as they can respond much faster than electromechanical relays and, since they have no moving contacts, their lifetime is measure in million of electrical cycles. RGC1A 1-pole solid state contactor is suitable for both resistive (AC51) and inductive load (AC53) switching. With its slim housing design, it requires minimal space in the electrical panel. RLC1A is another solid state contactor that is suitable only for resistive loads. Both products have integrated protection against transients and over-voltages.
