Both serve the same conversion purpose, but differ in structure. The SSR has no moving parts like armatures or metal contacts, preventing noise and arc generation.
An SSR is a relay that operates without moving contacts, utilizing semiconductor switching elements like triacs, thyristors, and diodes. Its input and output terminals are electrically isolated through optocouplers.

HPI products offer straightforward interconnect solutions capable of transmitting signals or reducing power consumption in a wide range of applications across multiple industries.
They are an ideal choice for controlling auxiliary components such as motors, switches, displays, lights, and other similar devices.
The low-power drawer series offers up to 10,000 paringscycli. Its hybrid design enables the combination of power and signal within a single connector system.
Pre-installed shrapnel delivers consistent force with minimal compression, ensuring stable electrical contact by reducing deviation. These characteristics make it ideal for space-constrained applications.
Typically, the shrapnel is the final component added to the circuit board. The type selected depends on the available height and space, though the ultimate choice is determined by design requirements.
It is also possible to use multiple types of shrapnel in one application. For instance, a simple C-type can be used for grounding between the device and PCB, while several pre-installed shrapnel pieces can be applied to the board for shielding or other basic connections.
Scalable shrapnel occupies only a moderate amount of space, allowing easy design modifications without needing extra room.
