What are automotive solid-state relays?
Automotive solid-state relays are switching devices that use the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors to control the flow of current through a circuit.
How do automotive solid-state relays work?
Unlike electromechanical relays, solid-state relays (SSRs) have no moving parts. Instead of using a coil to create a magnetic field, SSRs control the flow of electricity by enabling or disabling electron flow through a semiconductor. This means that an SSR does not arc when opening or closing the circuit.
