I would like to drive some solenoid valves (about 500mA at24VDC) with a PIC. I know I could use a relay, but is there some other device I should use and how do I add the proper curcuit protections for noise and short-circuit protection? Would a polyfuse protect the device against over current (and short circuits)? I am trying to minimize physical space but still have a reliable long-life circuit.
Thanks,
Dale
