Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi RHS38AD is a compact panel-mount heatsink designed for single-phase Solid State Relays (SSRs) handling currents above 5A. With a thermal resistance of 2.85 °C/W at 40W, it efficiently dissipates heat to maintain SSR reliability in high-load applications. The heatsink measures 46mm (W) x 76mm (H) x 33mm (D) and features a durable black finish for long-term durability in industrial environments. This heatsink is optimized for SSRs in plastics processing, packaging machinery, food and beverage production, and HVAC systems where space constraints require compact thermal management solutions. The panel-mount design allows for secure installation directly into control panels or enclosures, ensuring stable thermal contact with the mounted SSR. The RHS38AD is part of Carlo Gavazzi’s RHS series, compatible with SSRs requiring efficient heat dissipation for sustained operation at elevated currents. Key specifications include a maximum current rating of 5A+ when paired with an appropriate SSR, and a lead time of approximately 14 weeks for standard orders. The Standard Order Quantity (SOQ) is 5 pieces, making it suitable for both prototyping and production runs. For applications requiring higher current handling, consider the RHS38ARFD variant, which supports up to 16AAC with an RF1 mounted at 40°C.
