Ximimark 5Sets DC 12V Coil Power Relay LY2NJ HH62P JQX-13F DPDT 8 Pin 10A With Socket Base

Quality product lasts for years, I'm a journeyman electrician, so I appreciate good products !!! Thank you Amazon 🙂

Ultra durable relays!!! I've totally abused them, electrically, and they still work great! Just be aware that the LED is an indicator, not a snubber!!! Sockets could use some work in the durability department, however. Over tighten a screw and you'll likely shatter the plastic!

This relays and sockets arrived quickly and they were priced well. THey work great too. Pull in voltage is 7.5v; drop out voltage is about 3v.

I've purchased these relays a couple of times (5-packs), and in general I find them to be adequate general-purpose signal relays. My control systems usually use 12 volt power, and these allow me to control the occasional 120-volt circuit, or other applications as general interposing relays. Usually, they work fine and have been reliable. As others have noted, the screw terminals are on the small side, but I've been migrating to 18-AWG and smaller control wiring anyway, so it hasn't been much of an issue.However, I was using one to control a heater, which draws pretty close to the rated current of the relay. It's a 1000-watt heater, which calculates out to 8.3 amps at 120 volts, and the actual measured current was a bit less than that at 8.15 amps; the relay contacts are rated for 10 amps at 120 volts. It worked fine for a while, perhaps 100 hours and 20-30 cycles, but eventually the relay housing and base melted, and the contacts welded (relay stuck on).As you can see in the picture, most of the melting occurred at the base-to-relay interface, indicating perhaps a high contact resistance, but that doesn't explain the contacts welding. The relay plugs in quite firmly, so I wouldn't have expected a bad contact there, and 10 amps or less isn't really that much current, so it may have been heat propagating down the internal structure from the contacts. Either way, it didn't meet its rated current specification very well...I'll probably continue to use these, because they are a good value, but I'll de-rate them to 5 amps and use another model for any future higher-current loads.

I'm using these dpdt relays to reverse the polarity on a gate actuator for the open and close functions.
