Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I need relays with the following specifications:- A coil voltage in the range 5 Volt to 48 Volt.
Contacts - either DPST or DPDT able to switch at least 60 Volt DC and a current rating of at least 500 mA. I prefer SMD mounting but through the hole will suffice if SMD relays with the above specifications are not available.
Does any one know where I can purchase such relays? I need 80, so the price is critical.
I tried RS Components & Element 14, but they have little to offer.
I also did a search of Chinese companies but found their web sites frustrating. The ones I viewed did not have a sensible search engine. Besides, I have the feeling they don't want enquiries from the likes of me.
Any assistance will be appreciated. Len

wescomponents.com You will need an ABN to order from them however They have a pretty good range but ALL are PCB mount. Test the site by searching for RL-P-5 5 volt coil RL-P-12 12 volt coil RL-P-24 24 volt coil will switch 240 volts AC @ 500 mA 220 VDC @1A 14mm X 9mm overall footprint

OOPS I forgot 5volt version $1.40 12 volt and 24 volt is $1.30
They have a similar unit in SMD RL-PS-5 RL-PS-12 RL-PS-24
But twice the price Edited by joebog1 2017-11-09

Thanks Joe, I registered with them but have to wait for them to process.
I think my daughter has an ABN, so I may be able to use her's.

I dont think they much care!! its more a GST thing.
If you buy 80 relays, order a catalogue!!!! ( used to be free ) about 800 pages of stuff
they are the ducks nuts for bits n pieces. they do very little SMD stuff apart from chips

Thanks for the suggestions. After consideration of the various options, I have decided to not use relays & use 2 16F1708 PICs as they have sufficient pins & IOC on every pin. Len
