Solid State Relay Schematic

Solid State Relay Schematic

Solid State Relay Schematic

(OP)
Anybody out there have an electrical schematic for a SSR
(not electronic) I need to find a good one to use in our documentation. Thanks in advance

RE: Solid State Relay Schematic

Need to be more specific.  Even for just an AC type there are triac and back to back SCR. Then you add AC or DC input and zero crossing.  They can do some strange things.  I had one with an 120VAC control input and I connected to the SC line and a DC motor.  If I rectified the the control voltage, I could control the direction of the motor.  That defies what you would expect for internal circuitry.

ac and dc input
we usually drive small heater loads and even smaller solenoids from control circuits

I do not undersatand your question, because you ask for SSR , non electronic.
Solid State relays  are made with electronics, so, the name of SSR means that it is an electronic Relay made with solid state components like transistors, SCR´s, Triacs, etc.
In other words you can not ask for a "non electronic" solid state relay.

LFWB,

Do I understand that you are not looking for a component level schematic of an SSR, but a simple block diagram representation to incorporate into an electrical schematic?

If so I would use a simple box indicating terminal identities and polarity if applicable, possibly with a simplified representation of the input and output stages, e.g. an LED + resistor at the input and a triac or antiparallel SCR pair at the output just to give the maintenance techs some idea of what they are working with. Don't forget to put a warning to disconnect the SSR when Megger testing.

Hey, "Little Miss Sunshine" got nominated for an Oscar too. Some things just happen I guess.
