    If it's melting on the power supply side, that's the supply side, not the load side as stated in your first post. Important distinction!

    Are you using crimp type connectors on those wires, or are the wires wrapped around the terminal screws or under the terminal clamp plates?

    A photo of the damaged device would be helpful.

    I am using 12 gauge wire and just using bare wires into the screw terminals. it is melting on the side the power supply is attached to, not the side my control board is attached to. I have used the Omron and a different SSR with no long term luck.

    Searching the MakerFarm subforum for threads containing "SSR wiring" will provide some threads where replacement with an SSR has been discussed. If you want more generic info on the relay wiring, this old thread of mine might help - Clarifying i3/i3v heat bed and heat bed relay wiring
