Unable to locate Datasheet - Toshiba Solid State Relay 733W02932

[Mephitus]

I need a SSR for a project and the only one I have was salvaged from an old Xerox copier. Its marked Toshiba 733W02932 (Picture below). I am completely unable to locate any information about it at all, let alone a datasheet. And of course its the last part I need to finish, haha.

Project requirements are: triggering under 10V DC with the active output able to take 110V-10A AC mains. If no one else can find the datasheet for this one, would you think it OK to test? (With proper safety precautions of course)

That size SSR is typically rated for 2A at most, with mains being the leftmost 2 terminals and the low voltage control being the 2 closer spaced pins on the right side. They are pretty much not going to work well at 10A load, they burn out rather fast and go short circuit. Trigger side is the typical 5-28VDC trigger voltage, typically positive on the outside pin. Also probably not a zero cross device either, as the copiers microcontroller takes care of that in many cases, but it might be.

Thanks! This helps a lot. Specifically I am making a reflow oven controller and the SSR is used to regulate the on/off cycle of a toaster oven. Maybe I can find a tie in point within the oven electronics that would be within tolerance.

Good resources. I found some of the other stuff I salvaged. But not the SSR. Thanks anyhow.

Careful with those Toshiba modules, I used one to control a 60W BELL linear lamp as an alarm wake up in winter, and the module failed after about a year of operation, flickering on intermittently then going short circuit. Seems the inrush current of the linear tungsten lamp was too much for the module.

Replaced with an OPTO22 module, a little overkill to use a 20A SSR with zero cross switching to control a 60W lamp, later replaced with a 32 candlepower carbon filament lamp as a more appropriate light source. Just pulled out 3 at work this week, been hiding under a shelf unused for around 3 decades.
