A Solid-State Relay (SSR) is an electronic switching device that performs the same function as an electromechanical relay (EMR) but without any moving parts. Instead of mechanical contacts, it uses semiconductor devices such as thyristors, Triacs, MOSFETs, or transistors to switch electrical loads ON or OFF. Because there are no moving parts, SSRs offer longer […]
