Hi all.
Am after plain 120 Volt coil and either DPDT or SPDT for 120V / 20 Amperes relays/contactors. Perhaps even SPST. Found several in the market, some with too long delivery time, some at a price I do not want to pay for a hobby application.
As I have access to maaany canibalizable equipment; would like to know your suggestions on which may use these in order to salvage.
Air conditioning seems are mainly 230V coil. Microwave ovens are not 120V coil. Air handlers sequencers neither. Where would you look at ?

 

CAN$23.00 too high for you?
US$16.00

If your application doesn't absolutely require a 120 VAC coil, it may be easier and cheaper to salvage a 24 VAC HVAC contactor and power its coil with a small 120 to 24 VAC control transformer. You can salvage one from an outdoor central air conditioner or heat pump condensing unit.

 

No 120VAC available. Have only 120V DC
The one on post #2 is a good candidate.

OK It was not stated, the one I posted in #2 is AC !

I found these on Amazon. There should be a single pole version. Probably about the same price.
I am controlling the well pump with it.

 

Is not clear, to me at least' what is required for DC,' the coil or the contacts??

 

Thank you. Relay/contactor coil 120VAC or 120VDC. Contacts 120VAC or 120VDC. Normally closed contacts will handle AC mains, normally open will handle DC and no arcing is to be prevented.

Common C contacts to feed a 1500W 120V AC or DC space heater; N.O. to 120VAC mains; N.C. to 120VDC solar array. Coil terminals to 120VDC solar array
