HowTo: Metal SSR Enclosure.  (Orien Love)

Step 6 : Apply heat sink compound to the triac’s.


Coat the triac’s with a layer of heat transfer compound. In the picture you can see that 3 of the 4 triac’s have compound on them. This step will allow a higher current to be pulled out of your triac’s. understand that each triac has a maximum current and the current cannot exceed it’s rating.

Step 7 : Install angle to SSR board.


Using screws install the angle to the coated SSR’s. face the bend of the angle toward the terminal blocks.

Step 8 : Install SSR board into the case


Install SSR board into the case and mount using screws and nuts.

Step 9 : Assemble the cover with receptacles.


Wire and mount 2 receptacles into the cover. The ground and neutral should be jumped. Each hot lug has its own wire. NOTE: you must break the metal tab connecting the hot lugs together; this will allow each plug (2 per receptacle) to be controlled separately.
(For the perfectionists the gray wire should be green. But when I was assembling these units I was out of green wire.)

Step 10 : Terminate the wires.


Hookup the wires as follows. The gray wire goes to the center connector of the IEC. The white wire connects to the Neutral connection on the IEC. Each red wire goes to the SSR board. Make a note of how you terminate these so each of your boxes will have the same output layout.

An additional ground wire going to the metal case can be hooked up if desired.
