Watlow Series CZR Solid State Relay

up to 42 amps
Watlow Series CZR Solid State Relay
The SERIES CZR solid state relay from Watlow® provides a low-cost, highly compact and versatile solid state option
for controlling electric heat. With DIN-rail and back panel mounting standard on every controller, the CZR allows for simple and quick installation.

The extensive capabilities of the SERIES CZR include single-phase, 18 to 42 ampere zero-cross switching up to 600VAC (see output rating curve). The unique integrated design removes the guesswork associated with selecting a proper heat sink and precise terminations for the application.

This controller holds many agency approvals and is ideal for applications that require UL®, CSA and CE approvals. The SERIES CZR is available in VAC/VDC input contactor versions. All configurations are model number dependent and factory selectable. SERIES CZR is reliably backed by a two-year warranty from Watlow
