Re: Any electronics nerds interested in Arduino/Atmel?

But for a fan or other load that you want to PWM, a mechanical relay doesn't respond fast enough. I know the Ford Taurus had a solid state fan controller, as does my 2015 Corvette, but I'd like new parts (not junkyard harvest if I can help it!).

Naive question - on the case being drain, does that change if its PNP rather than NPN?

Summit and Amazon carry a Hella relay that is solid state but appears to fit the conventional form factor and will handle 32A per unit:

So I could have three of those oboard:

1) Cooling Fan A
2) Cooling Fan B
3) Fuel Pump (duty cycled down below 2000rpm for example)
