I have this breakout board,,,http://www.pmdx.com/PMDX-122/index.html
The relays contacts are rated for,,,10amps @125vac 5amps @230vac and 5 amps @ 50vdc
I need to use this relay to open and close a circuit (plasma torch trigger).
I realy have no way of testing how many amps and volts run through the trigger of my plasma torch as the wiring run directly into a large circuit board. I removed the button switch in the gun and found it was rated for,,, 6amps@ 28vdc.
My question is, will this relay on this breakout board be able to handle the amount of current that is running through my trigger(6amps@28vdc)?
If not can I use this relay to control a larger mechanical relay with its own small power supply? say a 12v relay that can handle 10 amps@ 48vdc?
I'm no electrical eng, just making sure I don't smoke my new board.
