A couple of weeks ago, I was working with a fairly new CATV system that we acquired. I've figured out most of the tangled mess that was created over the past decade or so and I'm getting things straightened out to be more scalable, manageable, and reliable. Not my first rodeo in doing this...
I...
I’m simply using them with some solenoids. 0.5 A typical, 1 A max
The period is typically 600 seconds, so the frequency is of no real concern as it is always periods > 1 second for what I’m doing. Literally used as an ON/OFF switch controlled by GPIO.
I needed to use some relays for switching 24VAC or 120VAC and thought that I'd share some information for anybody else looking to implement something similar.
Initially, I used a mechanical relay which was OK. I didn't like the mechanical aspect of this, but the price was right. It was...
