Replacement Parts

G32A-A Power Device Cartridge

The G32A-A Power Device Cartridge (a Triac Unit) can be replaced with a new one. When the temperature indicator has changed from pink to 

red, the triac circuitry may have malfunctioned possibly by an excessive flow of current, in which case, dismount the damaged cartridge for 

replacement.
The damaged cartridge can be replaced with a new one without disconnecting the wires from the G3PA.
Improve the heat radiation efficiency of the G3PA before replacing the cartridge.
The G32A-A Power Device Cartridge can withstand an excessive current for a short period of time, such as may be caused accidentally by the 

short circuitry of the load, in which case the temperature indicator will not turn red.
Be sure to turn OFF the power supply when replacing the Cartridge. Supplying power with the Cartridge removed may result in malfunction.
To remove or replace the Power Device Cartridge for the G3PA-210B(L)-VD(-X), G3PA-220B(L)-VD(-X), or G3PA-420B-VD(-2), use the special 

tool provided with it for extraction. (No special tool is required for other models.) 
The G3PA can be broadly divided into two series: Previous models and models with model numbers that end with "-VD." The Cartridge shown at 

the right cannot be mounted to models in the G3PA-

@@@

B-(-US) Series.

Replacing Power Device Cartridges

When replacing Power Device Cartridges, use the specified model. Using a Power Device Cartridge other than the specified one will result in faulty 

operation and destruction of the elements.

Replacement Procedure

G32A-A10(L)-VD(-X)/G32A-A20(L)-VD(-X)/G32-A420-VD(-2)

To remove or replace the Power Device Cartridge, use the special tool provided with it for extraction. 

(Do not switch on the power without the Power Device Cartridge. For details, see the attached the instruction sheet with the product.)

Extraction

Follow the procedures below to dismount the Power Device 

Cartridge from the G3PA.

1. Switch off the power.
2.

Remove the terminal cover.

3.

Hook the indented part of the cartridge with the tool and pull up on 

the cartridge to remove it.

Mounting

Follow the procedures below to mount the Power Device Cartridge 

on the G3PA.

1.

Apply silicone grease (provided with the G32A-A) to the entire 

surface of the heat sink.

2.

Make sure that there is no dust or pieces of wire on the heat sink 

of the G32A-A or the G3PA.

3.

Insert the cartridge into the opening of the G3PA so that the 

letters on the cartridge and those on the G3PA are in the same 

direction and side A and side B are even.

4.

Attach the terminal cover.

5.

Switch on the power and check the G3PA to be sure it works 

properly.

G32A-A40(L)-VD/G32A-A60(L)-VD/G32A-A430-VD(-2)/G32A-A450-VD-2

The G32A Power Device Cartridge is mounted and secured with screws to the G3PA Unit. No special tool is required to remove the Cartridge.

Extraction

Follow the procedures below to dismount the G32A-A Power Device 

Cartridge from the G3PA.

1. Switch off the power.
2.

Remove the terminal cover.

3.

Loosen the two centered screws on the sides to dismount the 

cartridge. The screws are connected to terminals 1 and 2.

4.

Loosen the screws on both the corners.

5.

Hold the indented part of both the corners to dismount the 

cartridge.

Mounting

1.

Apply silicone grease to the entire surface of the heat sink.

2.

Make sure that there is no dust or pieces of wire on the heat sink 

of the G32A-A or the G3PA.

Insert the cartridge into the opening of the G3PA so that side A 

and side B are even.

4.

Tighten the screws on both the corners with a tightening torque of 

0.59 to 0.78 N·m.

5.

Tighten the screws on both the sides with a tightening torque of 

0.59 to 0.78 N·m.

6.

Attach the terminal cover.

Refer to the instruction manual for 
the G32A-A Power Device Cartridge 
to replace the G3PA's triac part.

When the temperature indicator has turned from pink to red, the G32-A-A Power Device Cartridge 
may have malfunctioned, in which case the cartridge must be replaced with a new one.

Use the terminal cover to prevent accidents 
due to electric shock.

Safety Precautions

Precautions for Correct Use

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to 
operate, malfunction, or undesirable effect on product performance. 

Load Connection

For an AC load, use a power supply rated at 50 or 60 Hz.
The maximum operating frequency is 10 Hz.
The G3PA-(VD) has a built-in varistor for overvoltage protection.

At a low applied voltage, such as 24 VAC, the load current is not fully 
supplied. When the Unit is switched ON, the voltage required to 
power the Unit deprives the output signal of the necessary voltage 
level and thus creates loss time. The lower the load voltage is, the 
greater the loss time is. This condition, however, will not create any 
serious problems.

For a DC or L load, a diode should be connected in parallel the load 
to absorb the counter electromotive force of the load.

When attaching a heat sink to the G3PA-(VD), in order to facilitate 
heat dissipation, apply silicone grease or equivalent heat-conductive 
grease on the heat sink. (Toshiba Silicone, Shinetsu Silicone, etc.) 

Tighten the mounting screws of the heat sink with a torque of 0.78 to 
0.98 N·m.

Noise Terminal Voltage according to 
EN55011

The G3PA-(VD) complies with EN55011 standards when a capacitor 
is connected to the load power supply as shown in the following 
circuit diagram.

Vertical mounting

Close mounting

Horizontal mounting

• 

Screw or DIN track mounting is possible.

• 

Vertical mounting should usually be used.

• 

Close mounting cannot be used if the SSR is used at a 100% load 

current. Leave a gap of at least 10 mm on the left and right of each 
Unit.

• 

Close mounting can be used under the following conditions: 

1. Close mounting can be performed with no more than three SSRs 

(For four or more SSRs, leave a gap of at least 10 mm.)  

2. Use a load current of 80% or less (90% or less for the 

G3PA-210B-VD, G3PA-220B-VD, or G3PA-240B-VD).

3. Leave a gap of at least 80 mm above and below the SSR.
4. Leave a gap of at least 60 mm from wiring ducts to the top of the 

SSR and at least 30 mm from wiring ducts to the bottom of the SSR.

• 

With vertical mounting, reduce the load current by 30%. 
(Refer to the 

Load Current vs. Ambient Temperature

 graph.)

80 mm

Note:

 Leave a distance of 60 mm min. between SSRs and ducts (especially above the SSR).

Relationship between SSRs and Ducts

Ventilation

If the air inlet or air outlet has a filter, clean the filter regularly to 
prevent it from clogging and ensure an efficient flow of air.

Do not locate any objects around the air inlet or air outlet, otherwise 
the objects may obstruct the proper ventilation of the control panel.

A heat exchanger, if used, should be located in front of the SSR Units 
to ensure the efficiency of the heat exchanger.

Please reduce the ambient temperature of SSRs.

The rated load current of an SSR is measured at an ambient 
temperature of 25 or 40 

°

C. 

An SSR uses a semiconductor in the output element. This causes 
the temperature inside the control panel to increase due to heating 
resulting from the passage of electrical current through the load. To 
restrict heating, attach a fan to the ventilation outlet or air inlet of the 
control panel to ventilate the panel. This will reduce the ambient 
temperature of the SSRs and thus increase reliability. (Generally, 
each 10

°

C reduction in temperature will double the expected life.)

Example: For 10 SSRs with load currents of 20 A, 

0.31 x 10 = 3.1
Thus, 4 fans would be required.

Size of fans: 92 mm

If there are other instruments that generate heat in the control

If the ducts cannot be

is not surrounded by the 
ducts.

Use short ducts. 

Do not surround the SSR 
with ducts, otherwise the 
heat radiation of the SSR 
will be adversely affected.
