Hongfa, the solid state relay manufacturer, is the first company of its type to be awarded the prestigious “Top Brand” in China classification by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Hongfa is the number one relay manufacturer in China, and its quality control system conforms to the requirements of ISO9001, ISO/TS16949. Environmental standards met ISO14001 and Occupational Health and Safety management is certified to OHSAS18001. More, Hongfa has the only VDE-approved test laboratory in PRC, and its products - available in the UK through specialist controls components distributor, Hawco Controls - are generally UL, CUR, VDE, TUV and CQC approved.

Hongfa’s solid state relay range includes models with control circuits that can be driven by low voltage DC (3-32V) or AC (18-36 or 90-280V) at low wattage. Panel mount single pole types are available with AC outputs up to 100A at 530V and DC outputs including 100A at 30V and 12A at 500V. Three phase panel mounting models feature AC outputs up to 60A at 440V AC with the option of phase loss protection. Panel mounting Dual Relay types - which include two complete and independent relays in a single package, each capable of handling AC loads up to 50A 440V – are also included, as are a selection of PCB devices with AC outputs up to 5A 280V and DC outputs of 2A 100V. All models are fully RoHS compliant.

Comments Simon Dugdale, Applications Engineer at Hawco: “Solid state relays can replace electromechanical relays or contactors in many applications. With no moving mechanical parts to wear out or arcing contacts to deteriorate, they are extremely reliable with a very long service life.”

Typical applications include: heater controls; food equipment; industrial lighting; fire and security systems; dispensing and vending machines; production equipment; traffic control equipment; medical devices; instrumentation systems; motor control panels and manufacturing machinery.
