Recommend a good 50V solid state relay

Can anyone recommend a good 50VDC solid state relay for use with my Gecko G540 driver? It doesn't need to handle a lot of voltage/current, I just want to use it to fire my torch. Thanks!

One of the cheaper routes is to pick up a Opto22 module, you could either build a small socket with veroboard or pick up a 4 posn board.
There is a sellers on ebay have them for $1.50 G4 ODC5, the are switched by 5v and control up to 60vdc @ 3A.
If getting a board separate there are two types of modules, the G4 and the older straight ODC5.

the are switched by 5v

OK I think I misunderstood the manual. For some reason I thought I had to drive my relay with 50V. The manual states:

"The outputs are rated at 1A and 50VDC maximum. Connect one end of the load to the output and connect the other end of the load to a positive DC voltage. This voltage may be the G540 power supply or it may be a separate power supply having a different voltage."

So currently I have a 5V solid state relay. If I provide a 5V power supply to the relay and ground it all I think I should be fine.

Sorry posted before thinking ;-)
