This thread relates to this thread from last year.
I was recently talking to a company that does custom Hydraulic controls and they said that they never use Solid State Relays on Solenoids because when Solid State Relays fail, they usually fail in the on position, which could make for an unsafe condition.
I was wondering what you guys use when you control solenoids either Hydraulic or Pnuematic and what your experiences are with Solid State Relay Failures. Currently I am using Omron G3R-OA202SZN Solid State Relays with Zero Crossing on some Solenoids without problems but am wondering if I should use mechanical relays with snubbers.
Thanks for your thoughts.
