The subject line says it all really - why use SSRs?
Some of the application examples on www.o2m8.com use SSRs and I wondered if there was a technical reason.
My first guess was that they have a lower current draw than coil relays, although low-power coil relays are possible. What else? smaller size, perhaps no audible "click" when switching?
Research so far shows that SSRs and coils are about the same price.
Thanks,
Tim.
