Overview

The Littelfuse ISS-100 is a UL 913 listed intrinsically safe switch designed as an associated apparatus for reliable interfacing between hazardous and non-hazardous areas in industrial environments. Engineered to meet the most stringent safety standards, this robust unit ensures compliance with UL 913 Sixth Edition (File #E233355) while providing critical protection in volatile settings such as oil and gas facilities, chemical processing plants, and manufacturing operations where explosive atmospheres may be present. This intrinsically safe relay is specifically designed to be installed in non-hazardous areas, acting as a secure bridge between hazardous zones (Class I, II, III; Groups A-G) and control systems located in safe environments. The ISS-100 features finger-safe terminals that comply with IEC 61000 safety requirements, offering both operator protection and reliable electrical connections. Its compact design supports flexible installation options, including 35mm DIN rail mounting or surface mounting with #6 or #8 screws, making it ideal for space-constrained control panels. Key features of the ISS-100 include a continuous 5VDC probe sense voltage, an isolated output relay rated for 8A @120VAC general purpose or 180VA @120VAC pilot duty, and a mechanical relay life of 10,000,000 cycles with a minimum of 100,000 electrical cycles at rated load. The unit operates efficiently across a temperature range of -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F) with a maximum input power of 1.5W, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial conditions. The ISS-100's entity parameters (Voc=16.8V, Isc=1.2mA, La=100mH, Ca=0.39µF) guarantee intrinsic safety for connected circuits in hazardous locations, while compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 (ESD Level 3), IEC 61000-4-3 (RFI Level 3), and IEC 61000-4-4 (Fast Transients Level 3) ensures robust electromagnetic immunity. The integrated LED status indicator provides clear visual confirmation of relay engagement, simplifying troubleshooting and system monitoring. Professionals in oil and gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries rely on Littelfuse's ISS-100 for critical applications including pump control, liquid level monitoring, and process automation where hazardous area protection is mandatory. The switch's compliance with global safety standards and Littelfuse's reputation for quality and reliability make it a trusted choice for engineers specifying intrinsically safe components. With its combination of performance, safety certification, and installation flexibility, the ISS-100 delivers the peace of mind required for mission-critical industrial safety applications.
