I found this relatively cheaper SSR compared to say a Crydom D1240 http://www.wwb-st.com/002/HF/JGX-1505FB_cn.pdf which shares similar specs - are Crydom SSR’s a better more reliable alternative?

As long as the specs are comparable, they should be basically the same. The inside is nothing more than a big triac and a trigger circuit.

Thanks AMB, I'll go with the alternative in that case.

Well that's a coincidence, that's just where I was looking. I picked one up today, I'm really happy with the quality they feel very robust.

cheaper alternatives are roll your own (not hard really) or really think about why you're using a SSR and realize that a standard relay will work 99% of the time, for projects around these parts.
