Hi all.
I'v been searching for some modules ("Solid State Relays")
from Sharp that I'd like to take a closer look at. The problem
is that the only two distributors for Sharp in Sweden only
sells them in 1000's. Digikey sells them, but they are a bit
"clumsy" to deal with from Sweden. Can't find them at Farnell.
(And there is no sign of any "sample" service at Sharp...)

The modules are called something like "S202S11" or similar,
there are a large number of slighly different variants.
They consist of a Triac and an opto coupler (and sometimes
a snubber cicuit) moulded into one single case. Some also
have the current limiting resitor for the opto coupler
integrated, so they can be directly connected to a MPU
pin.

Anyway, does anyone know=20

(a) an European distributor for these thet sells in singel
    quantities ?

(b) some other brand with similar components ?

(Elektor has used them in some designs, so it can't be impossible
to find them...)

Best Regards
Jan-Erik S=F6derholm
