Control a AC 240V Relais over SBMS0

[Max WomoJunkie]

Hello

Are there any ready-made AC 230V relays that I can easily control ON / OFF with SBMS0?

thanks

You can easily control SSR (solid state relays as they will have DC 4V to 32V for control usually just 2mA or so can be directly controlled with EXT IOx and use a resistor from battery voltage ).

Here is an example but there are many options https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/altran-magnetics-llc/ASR-SV480D20ZW-L/14553475

The important thing to understand is that the SMBS0 provides CONTROL voltage -- which is NOT the 240V AC.  A typical relay uses small volts, 5-24 typically, to activate the relay.  Then, the metal contacts that are closed do the hard work.  Not unlike a house lightswitch, where our feeble fingers flip the switch and the magic happens.

Dacian has suggested solid state, a really nice alternative.  But similarly, the control is well within the SBMSO even though the AC would do all sorts of damage.
