SSR burnout

[oakbarn]

Anyone have experience with Kudom brand SSRs? Been looking around at our local suppliers and this is one that appears regularly amidst others.

For example, 40A 240V zero crossing - KSI240D40-L

Too Cheap to be good. I would not skimp here!

So we decided to go back to Fotek as the footprint allows to bolt in the relay right into the heat sink. We discussed and purchased directly from a local Fotek distributor. Thought I would share the picture of old vs new. Lesson learned buyer beware when you buy off Amazon. You can see the difference in the two

Be weary of Fauxtek SSR.
