HowTo: How to build a 12 channel SSR  (Robert Stark)


                    Page 1   Page 2       Next Page >>

Step 1 : Before we start....

Prepare to read the standard disclaimer:

Firstly: The steps outlined in this HowTo are merely for educational purposes. This is by no means the only way to make a SSR board. It’s a design that works for me so I make ‘em.

Secondly: Perform the steps outlined here carefully! Bad things happen to good people when you least expect it. This project deals with circuitry that will be switching dangerous voltages. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OPERATING THIS DEVICE. There is serious potential for injury, and property damage here.

Thirdly: I assume no responsibility for anything bad that happens from the following of this procedure. If you don’t wire this thing right and you wind up zapping all the hair off your dog and burning down half the neighborhood, don’t blame me... you’re the one who plugged it in. (Do send me pictures of the bald dog, though. I need the laugh)

Also, this isn't really a thorough HowTo, it just shows the assembly of the SSR boards that were etched in my etching printed circuit boards HowTo. The design is described in my "How to build a SSR" HowTo.

‘Nuf said. Let’s get to it!


Step 2 : Get your things together


Here are the parts we'll need.

Step 3 : Step 1


Always start with your passive components. (so you won't zap your static sensitive ones)

Step 4 : Step 2


Next we'll throw on some optoisolaters.

Step 5 : Step 3


Triacs HO!!

As one pirate said to the other pirate: R!
