I have another thread where some forum members have helped me formulate my thinking on a project, and as we've made our way through the "big picture" questions I've come to realize that I might be better served by asking some of the smaller questions in their own threads, so I'm creating a few. For reference, here is the "root" thread: https://forum.allaboutcircuits.com/threads/high-speed-actuation-sensing.159382/
Groundwork: I need to pass 12v power to a component in response to another 12v component being turned on. The fact that the rest of this circuit hasn't been designed yet notwithstanding, I'm wondering if I can start talking about hardware for the solid state relays that will control this auxiliary circuit.

The fact that the rest of this circuit hasn't been designed yet notwithstanding, I'm wondering if I can start talking about hardware for the solid state relays that will control this auxiliary circuit.
Questions:
- What are the factors one must weigh when sourcing solid state relays?
- How can I go about using these factors to identify a particular part on, say, Mouser?
