Anecdote of the SSR relay in action. As I was messing around inside my VHEX+ amp, I accidentally made two wires on the output of one channel short out (just intermittent short). This burned out the negative rail fusible link in the small CRC between the PSU and the amp. So I had one rail on and other rail off totally unbalanced with 18vdc offset out to the left channel speaker. All this happened silently without me knowing what happened except seeing that the LED on the RTR SSR LED shutdown. No speaker pop or voice coil flying out. I did not discover the unbalanced DC offset until I investigated why the LED went out.
The shutdown happened instantly and without any drama. Just plain old went silent.
It really works and this is first time I really needed it as this amp has +/-53v rails.

I just got confirmation that all units have been shipped via DHL and I should receive in a few more days. Looking forward to sending these out so that everyone can start using them. They are so compact and easy to install, that there is no reason not to add them to almost any (non bridged) amp project where you need some DC or turn-on thump protection.
Alhough we have not tested them at 200w into 8ohms, the 100v rated MOSFETs are referenced to ground, so they never see anymore than 57v peak (+ or -), so should be safe for use in 200w amps as well. The +V supply for a 200w amp is typically +/-60v or higher. Rail voltage should not exceed 100v (absolute).

Looking forward to them X, I should buy some more for anticipated projects for next year.
Good to see your inadvertive destructive test (or should that say non destructive test) was so successful.
I assume all was back to normal once you soldered in a new fusible link on the amp PSU cap board.

Hi folks, the tracking info I received was incorrect. The estimated date was Oct 18 but upon closer inspection of detailed tracking status, it looks like it just cleared HK. It took 3 days to go from Shenzhen China, and through HK across the river. Probably a few more days still before gettti g to me in the US.
RTR SRR’s arrived
Here they are - still panelized in sets of 12. They look really neat and well made.
I need to set up a jig to test each one individually before shipping.
