IEEE-library form of solid-state relay: a solid-state relay switches an output through semiconductor circuitry in response to a control input.

## In plain English

### What does ANSI/IEEE Solid-state relay form mean?

This reference locates solid-state relay in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented relays and contacts family. A solid-state relay switches an output through semiconductor circuitry in response to a control input. Control isolation, output type and leakage depend on the chosen product. The public library uses HCR1SSD for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

### A simple example

Trace the measured quantity or initiating control signal separately from the output contacts. The device tag links the sensing or operating element to the controlled circuit; settings, reset behaviour and the actual terminal arrangement belong in the selected equipment documentation.

### What the drawings help you do

Distinguish the low-power input terminals from the load-side output terminals. An SSR has no ordinary mechanical contact gap and must not be treated as a disconnector. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

### This particular reference

IEEE-library form of solid-state relay: a solid-state relay switches an output through semiconductor circuitry in response to a control input. An SSR has no ordinary mechanical contact gap and must not be treated as a disconnector.

### Terms

- Normally open / normally closed: The contact state in the normal condition defined for the drawing.
- Coil: A wound conductor that can produce a magnetic field when energised.
- Terminal: An identified point where a conductor connects.

## How to read it

- Distinguish the low-power input terminals from the load-side output terminals.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Name output AC or DC type
- State input operating range
- Reference leakage and load limits

## Important distinction

An SSR has no ordinary mechanical contact gap and must not be treated as a disconnector.

## Facts

- Convention evidence: Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Relays and Contacts; published form: Solid State.
- Public vendor block: HCR1SSD. Vendor library token, not an IEEE symbol number.
- Drawing role: Relay operation
- Identifier status: The short label is a functional lookup label, not an assigned IEC or IEEE symbol number. Any separately listed Autodesk code is a verified vendor block name.
- Artwork scope: Original educational geometry. Exact standard graphics, product ratings and terminal pinouts are not certified.
