I've developed a small circuit for switching a mains relay (which controls a lamp) on and off under specific conditions. I need to fit the circuit in to a proper enslosure so that I can use it. But I dont have access to any proper PCB making equipment.
Now the stripboard is only good for 1 amp current, so my plan is to solder the relay on to the stripboard which will hold the relay physically in place, then solder the wires of the lamp directly to the load side pins of the relay (i.e. so that the relatively large current goes through the lamp's own 5 amp wire and not through the stripboard conductor). Then I plan to fix the circuit securely inside of the plastic enslosure.
Does this sound okay?
