I have three of these with 120vac coil and so far they have worked ok. I boguth them off ebay for mid 20 - 30$ range. I did change out the too short screws for my copper lugs.

The relay you bought, I dont like those push on terminals. Also your using for wires when it says PCB?
Does that mean the intention is to be soldered onto a pcb board?

I dont understand how that
JQX-38F AC 220V Coil 11 Pin 3PDT PCB Type Power Relay 40A

relay can have a 40 amp rating. To me the pm17ay type are heavier duty. I mean the lugs, they are thick, no way you can bend them.

Thanks for your input. Ill bear those in mind if I need to replace the one I've got. The relay plugs into one of these:

mounted on a DIN rail in an enclosure.
I don't think it'll ever be used to draw 40Amps, the supply comes from a 16Amp socket, so theres no fear of that! I don't believe it could handle 40 Amps either.
