I need a relay for my meanwell ps

davejonesusa · 10-16-2003, 02:39 PM

Hello I'm new to the forums and would like some help and or opioins on what relay to use with my meanwell ps powering my 226w swiftech pelt. I have used the swiftech version 2 PRS in the past but due to a recent problem/error in my wiring it no longer works

Could someone please tell me about a similar product out there.

Many Thanks

Dave

Kinda expensive, but it works well with pelt rigs:

pH: All that thing does is delay when it starts up your motherboard. You wire that into your reset switch, and it [I think] just keeps some voltage running through it so the comp thinks you are holding the button down, so it doesn't start up until the timer runs out. It doesn't have a built-in relay, but it'll kick one on if you do have one.

crap you're right I linked wrong item. And it looks like other relays are sold out. Try searching ebay for "solid state relay". You should find some beefy ones for cheap (5-10)
