@Tim_Rastall under 5 bucks us on eBay. But tomato tomato.

I do agree that an SS relay can be easier to work with. If you don’t mind spending a bit more, can live with the marginally higher losses (and therefore lower heater power) and don’t mind having a fairly large brick dangling around, i’d say go for it if that’s your thing.

e.g. 40A: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141021942689

@D_Rob plus 10 bucks shipping to nz. 3 bucks including shipping next day for a mosfet. Plus a mosfet is much smaller.

Good point. @Tim_Rastall

Thanks all for advice. I’m off to buy a mosfet!
