Did you take a look at Omron's G3NA series? See http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T053/1395-1397.pdf Every model has a variant that can use 5V as a trigger, switched voltages are 264 VAC or more, currents are 5A all the way up to 90A. Note: for higher currents you need a heatsink. Digi-Key has a UK webfront, so it should be readily available, at least in the UK. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17974 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
