There are small "solid-state relays" that might do the sort of thing
you are looking for (but they tend to be a bit on the expensive side.)
For instance, the Claire LCA110 switches up to 350V/120mA with a max
Ron of 35 ohms, and comes in a 6-pin DIP.  $3-4 at digikey...  Found a
lot in telco stuff like phone switches...
