Relays

[jbxx]

I have an unusual 12/24V set up in my truck with
High Power Zeners to produce the 12V while keeping the
24 V for Charging and starting.
Anyway I use 24V relays a lot and I just found these.

They are dual voltage 120VAC and 24V and have a form "C"
set of contacts rated at 10 Amps (form "C" is a N.C and an N.O.
with a common lead between them).
They are reliable, have an LED indicator, and are relitavely cheap
($8 at ADI).
Anyone thinking about 24V relays should check them out.

Those must be some serious diodes! What sort of current can you pull from them - that is without releasing the mystical blue smoke that makes all electronics work.

Believe it or not 100A is the largest.
Has like a 1/2"bolt on the bottom.
