Agreed!
Be specially careful with RF transistors, and other specialty/high priced ICs and special purpose transistors.

I have ordered several on eBay and received counterfeits.

Ulf, David,

I did a google search for the Crydom CSD2525P SSR but I can't find
any datasheet - could it be a "special" for some particular
application and is incompatible with what you are trying to do?

Indeed - I couldn't find a datasheet either! The closest seems to be the CSW2425, which is a snubberless, zero-crossing triggering, antiparallel SCR SSR. Snubberless is definitely not the right kind to use here, and zero-crossing triggering also leads to more trouble than advantages when controlling transformers.

But that's for the CSW2425, not what you have...

Ulf, maybe you got a Chinese "eBay special" devices - which means fakes!  In that case nobody can tell what's really inside your little black boxes. There are quite a few crooks in China re-labeling ultra cheap or defective parts to look like more expensive, famous-branded ones. But the practice seems to be getting less common. Lately almost all parts I have ordered from China were real. Emphasis on "almost".
