Can I use the other Crydom relays with the RC-4?

hey, parallaxers, i have a question. i'm very excited about what seems to be an entry level relay package. i've been wanting to program power switching on a basic level for some time, but it always just seemed very involved and potentially dangerous. i have one question about the rc-4 though. when i read the PDF on the crydom relays it says that there are a couple different models available... some that go up to 3.5 amps. can these b used with the rc-4 board?

thanks,
taylortronic

    As long as the relay can be activated with 5v at less than 5 mA, and has the same footprint/connections, yes.
