Seriously, I'm not seeing 15A relays on Digikey for less than around
15 dollars. Where do you get 60 cents from ??mandag den 5. juni 2023 kl. 20.45.03 UTC+2 skrev Cursitor Doom:

Okay, thanks, Lasse, I got 'em now. They're a bit more expensive in Yurp, but not by much. Well, I stand corrected, then.
Please do not go the the Digikey site. The shock may be harmful to your health.
A hard fast-rise gate pulse turns the whole chip on all at once.
A slow trigger rise can create a hot spot that spreads slowly and may fry the silicon before it does.
If the load is inherently current-rise limited, like an inductor maybe, it's usually OK.
There must be app notes about this.
Yes.
Sorta. A triac is going to drop a good volt whenever it’s on, so you can’t do too much about the losses.
It also has a fair amount of silicon for its dissipation, so its datasheet power rating will be reasonably honest, unlike your average FET’s. (We’re looking at you, IR.)
As JL said, it’s dI/dt that kills them, and soft triggering makes that much worse.

And a circuit like this is the very epitome of 'soft triggering' but you see them all over the place. I guess they're okay for low power control:

Whereas Mouser is harmful to my wealth. Nothing to choose from there at all for under 15 bux.
My very first search hit:
That's why 'incandescent only' labels are used. With non-resistive loads, turnon also is problematic.

yeh, this one looks nice at 8A, until you look at figure 2
I don't see your circuit.
Yeah. Luck beats skill any day. You just don't know which days those will be.
Interesting. It is rated to switch DC too! What will they think of next?
There's a shop in Fremont that will anodize infinite heat sinks.
Not in Yurp I'm afraid. Looks like all real choice stuff is only available in the US, despite the fact that Mouser claims to have bases elsewhere, it's clear they haven't.
Strange. Many of the relays are manufactured in yurpville. And surely you can import Chinese relays as easily as we can.
But it takes forever.
