I am seeking your help to find an electronic replacement for a NO relay contact.
I am using a 08M2 to energise a relay that shorts the ignition coil of a 1 cylinder electricity generator to turn it OFF.
The problem that I encounter is that the relay contact burns. (The contact is rated at 10 amps )
I have tried to replace the relay contact with a NPN transistor (2n2222) or a power mosfet transistor (IRF540) connected in parallel with the contact (collector-emitter or source-drain) but they prevent the generator to start even if the base or the gate is left floating or is grounded.
What am I missing?
Any help will be appreciate.
