I usually use mechanical relays but I thought that this new project may be a better fit for a solid state relay. Basically I will be shifting a solenoid pretty continuously to control a valve. I've read that SSR can last 10's to hundreds of times times longer than EMR.
What are some.of the issues I am going against? Will there be leakage on the SSR that keeps the coil of the solenoid energized? Coil is 24 volt 1.8 watt. Does.keeping the SSR energized for long periods of time have a negative effect? I've read stuff about temperature. This is a normal nema4x enclosure with no vents mounted in a building where temps range from 30-90 deg f.
Just trying to get some opinions on if this is a good use case for SSR vs EMR.
