Default contactor or relay recommendation

OK, I hadn't noticed that. Still, what you need to determine is their
input characteristics and then see if there is a suitable SS relay.
However, it is hard to beat the price of one or even two 25 A (normal) relays.
Is 25 A enough for one or both? They would just make a distinct click,
nothing totally objectionable and you can always put them in a sound
insulated box that were too loud.
