I used 25 amp versions, they work fine.
I choose to use a different heatink for mounting purposes.

I assume the 40A is max load, not constant correct?

Correct, they are rated for 0 to 40 amps. If you are using one 5500 watt element, you will pull 22-23 amps.

For what it's worth Auber sells the same manufacturer's SSRs for DC applications, although they use a different one for 25A and 40A AC.

Good point, check you PID and see what the output control is. Make sure to get a matching ssr.

DC. 3-5 volts. I've seen a couple of test online so I think this will work. I'll do a write-up if I get it working.

I have 5 each of 25A and 40A of these Mager units, they are also what ECC (makers of the BCS460/462) sells, have not done any long term testing, but seem to work fine.. I have some Crydom units but really don't like them not having a LED like the Mager's.
I think the heatsinks I have are the same as those, and they are pretty beefy..
