[Swansea Hackspace] Isolating Solid State Relay

[Peter Barnes]

Neil,

You want a reasonably solid, plastic, enclosure with strain relief for the
incoming and outgoing mains cable.

An easy way to do this would be to buy a junction box with 20mm knockouts,
then buy some 20mm cable glands for strain relief. All of that is available
in the IP66 variety if it needs to be waterproof.
