I have this application where I need a switch, or maybe more accurately, a relay. For various reasons, I thought a solid state relay would be the way to go. So, I got the one linked below. The trigger voltage is listed as 1.5 to 5 volts and the output voltage range is 0-40V with a maximum on resistance of 1.25 ohms. However, after quite a bit of testing, it's apparent to me that applying that voltage to the inputs (using the lead by the "dot" as the #1 positive lead), does not close the relay contacts on the other side. Among other tests, the resistance across the output contacts stays as an open circuit. I'm just curious if there is anyone familiar with this type of component who can tell me why it doesn't do what I thought it was supposed to do.
