GPO

Anyone know of a relatively inexpensive solid state relay I could use with a GPO output for a 1 off device? High current not needed but would like to be able to handle any voltage input from 0-24VDC and 80-130VAC

Need to make your prop design easier or secure? Get a PropMod has crystal, eeprom, and programing header in a 40 pin dip 0.7" pitch module with uSD reader, and RTC options.

    Just to be perfectly clear, when you say "input from 0-24VDC and 80-130VAC" do you mean the input control signal that turns the SSR on, or are you referring to the voltage on the load side of the SSR that you want to turn on/off, or do you mean 0-24VDC control to switch 80-130VAC load voltage?

    Most SSR's have input control voltages in the 3-24VDC range, although you could use an AC control signal by adding a rectifier/capacitor/resistor circuit on the input.

    voltage on the load side. My propeller will be controlling it(3.3V)

    Lots of SSR's available. Try Sayal, Future Tech, Newark, DigiKey. They all have locations in Canada. If you have a Princess Auto location near where you live you may even find one in their surplus section. If you live too far from these locations to make that practical PM me with the info on your application and I can find something suitable and mail it to you.

    Did a quick check and there are several PCB mount relays available starting at $4.72 for 2A 240V to about 20.00 for a 5A unit. ($ CDN)

    If the current is 100mA or less you could use one of the MOC 3020/3030 series. They are under a dollar each.

    found one. aqz207 can't figure out why it did not show up at first in digikey search found on mouser then found on digikey
