Ok, Im new here so sorry if the title/subject is not as clear as it could be, Im a mechanical engineer and thats the best description I could come up with.
Heres what I'm trying to do:
I have an industrial DAQ/control system that has a couple of 5vDC logic level type D to A ouputs. I want to use these outputs to switch a 230V, 2A load.
From what I understand these D-A outputs will only drive a very light load of about 5mA @ 5V. I originally thought I could just connect these directly to a SSR but I cant seem to find a SSR that needs less than about 12mA input.
So is there a way I can do this with a fairly simple electronic circuit? I have a basic understanding of common/simple components and schematics so I should be able to find my way with a bit of a kick start from some of you knowledgable folk.
Thanks,
Adam
