# Using a solid state relay/ photoMOS relay [closed]

I'm trying to use solid state relay (Panasonic's AQY277 / AQV215) to switch a light bulb (100 V AC). To control the input, I'm using a signal generator in DC mode with 5 V as input. I have not yet succeeded in making it work. Anyone having any idea about wiring details of these relays?

• do you have a wiring diagram ? – Felice Pollano Nov 14 '12 at 14:28
• This is impossible to answer without knowing exactly what you did. You should be able to see for yourself we can't know what exactly you connected to what. – Olin Lathrop Nov 14 '12 at 14:38
• While I feel the question is vague, closing it just makes this forum discouraging for people trying to learn how to use it. – speciousfool Nov 16 '12 at 8:25

You should have PIN 2 connected to the GND and pin 1 to the driver among a 1.5K resistence ( that guarntee a correct current driving the internal LED ) of about (5-1.2)/1.5K = 2.53 mA that according to the datasheet is enought to switch the device on.
