SSI Goes Green (Oct 2008)

Solid State Instruments, in moving forward with its environmental policies and goals, has converted the Solid State Instruments mercury-wetted product line into an all solid state line-up, thus completely eliminating the use of mercury in its products.

All of the products from the mercury-wetted line have solid state equivalents, and they are separated into two new solid state lines: SSI Standard Plus and SSI Elite. Both lines are comprised of former mercury-wetted products now built with custom designed solid state relays.

These new lines join SSI's existing Standard SSI line which consists of the company’s traditional solid state relays, along with the specialty devices and pulse links that the company is known for. The new solid state lines are heavier-duty than all other solid state relays in the industry.

The new all-solid state lines are designed to be functional equivalents and completely interchangeable with mercury-wetted versions of the product. “You can remove an existing mercury-wetted SSI relay and replace it with a new one and there will be no difference to the receiving device,” explains company President, Bill Brayden.

Besides being “green” and making the new product line easy to transition too, there will also be no price increase from the mercury-wetted products to the solid state equivalents. “We’ve wanted to take this route for awhile, but until now, we hadn’t found a suitable replacement for the mercury-wetted relay. Due to the new power and signal switching technology that became available on the market recently, we were able to custom design a solid state relay that will carry on the same reputation of robust quality,” adds Brayden.
