Would you mind sharing the relay you were talking about? It's a lot of
work picking out the components! I was considering going the ssr route
but couldn't find a suitable one. So now I'm look at the general
purpose ones.
it and (url of) the datasheet are in another branch of this thread but here
it is again anyway.

Thanks for the link. I missed the original reference somehow.
Forgive my ignorance, but, will I be able to attach these relays
directly to the stripboard? I looked at the datasheet and all pin
spacings are a multiple of .1 inches. So I'm assuming yes.
Yes, It'll take about the same amount of real-estate as a 12-pin DIP
(hence gaps in the pin numbering on the pinout) it is of course taller than
a typical dip.
note that the diagram shows the underside of the device, datasheets for ics
usually show the top, so flip it over in your head and youll see that
tne numbers go counter-clockwise from 1 to the top (12) like on a regular dip.
Bye.
