> Two amps is way too low for any sort of heating element.  Size your 
switching element for at least 15 amps for a 120-Volt heater; ideally 20 
or more.  A good rule of thumb when selecting current-switching devices 
is to size them for 2x the expected load current.  If your heater is 
1500 Watts (12.5 Amps @ 120 Volts), pick at least a 25-Amp switching 
element.


Just placed an order for two of these:

Solid State Relay Module 3-32V DC Input 24-380VAC SSR-25DA 25A 

It has screw terminal connections.

Will be here end of Jan.

Project will be on hold for a few weeks :)

Thanks

Craig
