Be sure to get SSRs with appropriate current ratings. The Pico SSRs are only rated for 15 ma. I had to get some crydom SSRs rated for 3 a for some of my applications.

Thank you for letting me know.

But if you look at my address, you will see it is very unlikely it will Reach me before the holidays are over using the service specified. Then my Next days off are Easter...
In the time between I will most likely be busy keeping my customers happy.
I will have to go play With my (Pico Systems equipped) lathe during these days off from work then.

From your name I guess that you are in Scandinavia somewhere.
You can probably get Mesa boards from emcPT in Portugal in time for Christmas, and save import delays:

I am almost out of stock of all boards and already have a order placed to Mesa.
Delivery time will be no less than end of January - accordingly to Mesa (that can fail a lot).
Still if you go to my website, the stock is correct, so if it shows in stock I do have it and ship on the same day as payment arrives.
I do have in stock a few 7i76E that is getting popular nowadays.

Thanks! I figured that 15mA would not work for everything. I still need to figure out what the solenoid load will be.

Thank you for your help.
I would certainly have ordered from emcPT if I knew that my order was not going out as promised.
And yes, I'm in Scandinavia, Norway to be more exact. Which means it will probably sit waiting for some days in customs clearance (actually VAT) adding to the shipping time.

@Jake: A low voltage relay load will ussually be less than 50mA. A solenoid could be more. If you find the specs on yours, that is usually a parameter given there. Remember to put in a flyback diode on your contactor if DC. A resistor/capacitor snubber if AC. And place that on your relay/solenoid. Not at the driver board.
