The ASSR-3220 is a miniature surface mount solid-state relay (SSR) manufactured by Avago Technologies (now Broadcom). It is designed for a variety of switching applications, offering high isolation voltage and current capabilities in a compact package. The ASSR-3220 is commonly used in industrial control systems, telecommunications equipment, and other applications requiring reliable and isolated switching.

The SSR utilizes an LED to optically couple the input signal to the output switching element. This optical isolation provides excellent electrical isolation between the input and output circuits, protecting sensitive control circuitry from high-voltage transients and ground loops. The ASSR-3220 offers a robust and long-lasting solution compared to traditional electromechanical relays, as it has no moving parts to wear out.
