#175693 - 3 ohm load
Responding to: ???'s previous message
with 3ohm load You have 4A+ current. Heat will be (Rdson * 16) W.
So You should search for lowest possible (and cheap) Rdson.
IRF840 in Your circuit is 0.85ohm. So You have 11..13W static power dissipation. Search for other transistor - IRF840 is high voltage type - You don't need them. 4A is really light circuit , with good parts. IRF540 has 0.077 ohm Rdson - difference is 10 times. Listed price here is 0.38euro - same as for IRF740 (840 is not listed).


LM5111 has stated ON resistance of 1.5 ohm - how can be better in Your case?
Primary function is MOSFET gate driver. Third in list(page one datasheet) is relay and motor driver.

Dinamic power dissipation can be problem too - even on 300 Hz - with slow optocoupler edges. So think about sharpeninng and maybe some Shmidt buffer between opto and transistor.

So- if You buy SSR to solve this problem - You will pay for this know-how , which You currently learn. Parts inside will be same.
regards and good luck
