Parallel connecting ssr's on the bcs

Post by tazzdog »

I was wanting to know about parallel connecting ssr's to a single output how much output load can the controller drive? I'm wanting to do some ladder logic to gain more output function.

BCS outputs can source upto 20mA of current at 5V each. Each SSR is different, but they all spec a typical input current. For example, the Crydom D2425 SSRs spec the Typical Input Current at 3.4mA, which means that you could safely wire the control for 5 SSRs from one BCS output.
