I couldn't find any specs on the "ASR-240D" shown. If yours is different, what model is it? There's lots of different SSRs. The one you used for reference is some Ching-Chang stuff with who knows what specs. It could be 40A at 25v and 5A at 240v. Write the seller and tell him it went up in smoke and you question the 40A rating.

I'm using OPTO-22's model 240D45. The heat sink on the bottom is 1/4" thick and as large as the SSR. The one in your example looks like the heat sink is tiny.
