New rad-hard SSRs from API

API Technologies has added a family of radiation hardened solid state latching relays, namely the AP10N01L, which is SPST (single pole single throw, normally open), and the AP1AD01BL, which is SPDT (single pole double throw). With a distinctive latching capability, these solid state relay products feature a wide input actuation voltage range (both set and reset) of 3.3 V to 36 V (compatible with most logic types), while operating voltage ranges between 12 and 36 Volts. The family’s flexible voltage handling capability simplifies overall design and reduces parts count, resulting in overall size and weight reduction and increased reliability. The AP10N01L (SPST) is configured as one contact that is open in the reset state and closed in the “set” state. It also offers a “Flag” output, a status indicator that can be used in place of a second contact to indicate relay state to local electronics, thus saving the expense of using a contact (a second pole) for this function. This model is designed to be price competitive with double pole double throw (DPDT) TO-5 mechanical relays. A construction option offers a “reverse Flag” output where the Flag is “low” when the relay is actuated. The AP1AD01BL (SPDT) is configured with a set of two contacts, one normally open and the other normally closed. When actuated, it performs the function of a single-pole-double-throw relay with ...
