  • Patent number: 9564891
    Abstract: A solid state switch may include a plurality of inputs, such as to receive a control signal to cause the solid state relay to selectively deliver power from an AC power source to an electrical load (e.g., a heater, a pump, a lighting source, a motor, etc.). The solid state switch may include at metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) connected in a series opposition arrangement, where a gate of each of the MOSFETs may be electrically connected to a corresponding one of the plurality of inputs. A signal output from the MOSFETs may provide a triggering signal at a gate input of each of a corresponding semiconductor switching device to close the solid state relay to enable power delivery from the AC power source to the electrical load.
