Relay, SRD-24DC-SL-C

Picked up a few of these to swap into an old control panel, and the 10A contact rating handles the motor starter coil load without any issue. The mechanical life spec of 10 million cycles gives me confidence these will outlast the rest of the components.

My bench supply needed a reliable SPDT for switching a heater load, so I grabbed this 24V coil unit — the 10A rating at 28VDC is plenty for my setup, and the 100,000-cycle electrical life makes it feel like a solid buy. Clicked it into the breadboard, coil energized without a hitch, and the contact

The 10A contact rating at 250VAC handled my motor load without a hiccup, and the 100,000-cycle electrical life gives me real peace of mind for a daily-use circuit. It clicked in firmly and has stayed cool after a week of testing.
