Here are photos of the SSR

The FOTEK SSR-25DA was switching power to a clothes dryer heating element a=
t 240VAC.
12VDC was supplied to the + side of the relay input through a 500 ohm resis=
tor.  A micro-switch ( normally open )
grounded the + side to shut off the heating element.

Is the FOTEK likely to be counterfeit ?
Although it is hard to tell in the photos , it appears the heatsink got ver=
y hot.  I had it screwed to the metal frame of the appliance.  I did not fa=
sten it tightly or use thermal paste.

I tried the SSR on the bench ( using 120VAC and a 200W lamp ) and it still =
appears to work.

Does the PIClist have any suggestions ?
