The current Imax provides information about the performance of the solid-state relays. The actual permitted rated
operating current Ie can be smaller depending on the connection method and cooling conditions. The spring-
loaded terminals version can be used for a rated current of up to approx. 20 A with one conductor and up to
approx. 40 A with two conductor on each terminal.
