looking for 12vdc automotive relays

[Dan]

I found some really cheap ones HKE CMA31 a couple years ago from a surplus
house but that's what they were, so there's probably no more. I need 12vdc
coil and 10-30amp 12vdc contactors. Any tips would be appreciated.

These are all in the standard 1-inch (2.5-cm) cube with 5 0.25" (0.63 cm)
terminals, and usually have 30 A ratings on the normally open (30/87)
contacts:

Mouser http://www.mouser.com/
526-R51-5D40-12 ~$6.50 NTE no mounting tab

Digi-Key http://www.digikey.com/
Z982-ND $5.10 Omron mounting tab
Z981-ND $5.20 Omron no mounting tab
PB527-ND $3.91 P&B mounting tab
PB536-ND $3.60 P&B no mounting tab

Del City http://www.delcity.net/
73980 $2.36 Hella* mounting tab
73984 $2.46 Hella* no mounting tab
73570 $1.24 socket to fit any of the above relays

(*They don't specify Hella, but that's what's in the pictures and that's
what I've gotten on a couple of orders)

The only problem with Del City is that they have a $25 minimum order. If
you need a bunch of relays, though, they have a good price.

Standard disclaimers apply. I don't get money from any of the companies
mentioned.
