I don't think your heatsink was big enough

The zero crossing is an important feature worth to mention. It is preventing high freqency noise on the power line. There are different applications for the different types of ssr.

I actually like that satisfying clicky sound of a relay ^^

A big advantage a mechanical relay has is the N/O & N/C option and the 2,3 and 4 poles.<br>These options in the SSR makes it very expensive.

I would say the DIY won, because at least then you could say what the real values are. Component claimed to take 40A, when it can only take 16A is pretty criminal.

This is the best video of SSR I've ever seen. Congratulations.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UtL2uAYCUA&t=42">0:42</a> A latching relay (also called "impulse", "keep", or "stay" relays) maintains either contact position indefinitely without power applied to the coil.

Nice, there's a constant current generator for the LED inside the SSR, that's why it can handle 3 to 32 V DC input. It was for me a mystery before. Thank you for the explanation and the schematic you shared.

there is another advantage of DIY that is the chance of additioning several NO and NC output cintacts, such as the standard electromechanical relays
