Hi, I have an non-submersible aquarium pump (Eheim 1046) that runs off 120VAC. It draws only 66mA after it starts. I've been controlling it via a 12VDC mechanical relay but I would rather use something more dependable like an SSR. For many of the SSRs I looked at, the minimum load current is 100mA or above.
So can anyone point me in the right direction? I need 12VDC control voltage and it needs to turn on and stay on while the pump draws 66mA. Something ready to go on a board or in a puck would be nice, but I didn't have much luck searching eBay.
