Power modules and solid-state relays are common electronic components, and they are different in their working principles and application fields.
Power module: Power module is usually composed of some semiconductor devices with powerful power performance and related logic control circuits. It can convert and regulate electric energy, including rectification, inversion, power amplification and other operations. Common ones include IGBT modules, MOSFET modules, etc., which are mainly used in high-power electrical and electronic equipment such as frequency converters, power electronic conversion systems, etc.
Solid state relay: A solid state relay (SSR) is a contactless electronic switch that uses semiconductor devices as its main components. It can transfer or cut off DC or AC loads, has fast response speed, good anti-interference performance and long life, so it is often used to replace electromagnetic relays. Commonly used in fields such as automation control and power regulation.
In summary, power modules are mainly used for the conversion and regulation of electrical energy, while solid-state relays are mainly used as electronic switches to transfer or cut off loads.
