For over a month now I have been trying to find a PCB-mount DPDT (2 Form C) solid-state relay but have had no luck. I know I can use some opto-relays wired in a certain way to do what I need, but I'm curious as to why DPDT SSRs are so rare. In fact, I don't think I've come across any in my searches. Does anyone know of a dedicated DPDT SSR, or will I have to construct one with optos (or other type of switches)?
Probably because solid state 'relays' aren't really a relay at all, just a fairly poor imitation, with lot's of limitations compared to a proper mechanical relay.
Ok, I guess my terminology was wrong. It functions like a relay, but is technically just a switch. This is MUCH closer! I actually think the NX3L2467 is exactly what I need!
KISS, your timing couldn't have been better. I was just about to post that The NX3L2467 I mentioned earlier is a 3.3V device, whereas I'm looking for 5V devices. I searched and a couple of hours ago I found the NLAS44599 and was going to post it here.
Thanks Eric, but I don't think that's quite what I'm looking for. The second one you posted is, but it uses more components. I'll probably stick with the NLAS44599. It does exactly what I need it to.
