Can this W1209 temperature control switch safely handle a 400W 230VAC rice cooker?
Pic attached.
The rice cooker is being used for the heating element as it’s a convenient shape, I’m trying to use it to make yoghurt. There is a possibility of a larger rice cooker being used in future but I don’t think it would ever exceed 5A.
Prefer to ask for certainty.
I do have another 10A 250VAC relay module that will be controlled by an SBC so I could use the W1209 to control that but that results in extra wires if it’s not necessary.
