Dc SSR circuit problem

[mackrackit]

Hi, Dave

I think cooter did not understand his relay is to consider like a Power - optocoupler ...

don't you ???

Alain

Yep, that is why I ask about the LED to see if cooter understands the workings.
Always start with blinky...

Hey Cooter

You need to use the output of the SSR as a switch in series with your load. You seem to have connected it across your 12 V supply. That is killing your SSR.

Thanks everyone, It works. So simple now I look back at it
