11-12-2025 | Littelfuse | Power

Littelfuse, Inc. now offers the CPC1056N, a compact, high-performance 60V, 75mA 1-Form-A SSR designed to satisfy the growing demand for fast, efficient, and space-saving switching solutions in next-generation electronics systems.

Featuring a solid-state design with no moving parts, the device delivers silent, maintenance-free operation and avoids EMI/RFI interference. It offers high input-to-output isolation (1500VRMS) and fast 3ms switching speeds. It operates with an ultra-low LED trigger current of just 0.5mA, enabling direct drive by low-power TTL or CMOS logic without extra circuitry.

Housed in a compact four-pin SOP package, the device meets EN50130-4, UL 1577, and EN 62368-1 standards, making it ideal for security, medical, industrial automation, smart meters, and EV charging infrastructure applications.

"With the launch of the CPC1056N, we're enabling our customers to simplify their designs without compromising performance and enabling the development of efficient, compact, and reliable electronic systems," said Hugo Guzman, product marketing manager at Littelfuse. "By combining fast switching, ultra-low input current, and robust isolation in a compact package, this solid-state relay addresses key challenges in space-constrained and energy-sensitive applications. It helps engineers reduce complexity, improve energy efficiency, and accelerate time to market across a wide range of industries, including security, industrial automation, and EV infrastructure."

Features and benefits:

  • 60V, 75mA continuous load rating: Suitable for low-voltage signal and control circuits
  • Low LED trigger current (0.5mA): Allows direct interfacing with TTL/CMOS logic and low-power microcontrollers
  • Fast switching (3ms ton/toff): Supports fast applications with minimal latency
