Dear Friends,
I am familiar with ratings, pinouts, back emf and how to drive a relay.
My question is how would I safely connect 240v Mains to a relay?
Obvious way would be to solder a flex directly to the contacts, (the pins on the relay are not strong and has no big surface area to solder to.
If I solder the relay to a strip board I am scared of a fire hazard.
Do they make wire ended relays, then I can simply use a terminal strip
Any precautions I should use Fuse etc?
