Hi,
I wonder if anyone can advise me of a good UK supplier for componants, I'm working on a 555 based circuit and I need a couple of relays that switch on a 12v supply to coil & 12v load (both 9 - 14.4v car 12v supply) that can run 5a or 10a loads (5a enough, 10a better) and be driven directly by my 555. This means a coil of less than 200mw, I'm guessing <160mw to be on the safe side.
Oh yes, it has to be SPDT (I guess I could use DPDT and only use one set of contacts) and be smallish for eventual PCB mount after I'm past the breadboard stage.
I have been a bit of a loss finding lots of RS stuff is 'no longer stocked' and I can't find a suitable relay. Either wrong voltage or coil power to high etc. A little relay like this should be a couple of pounds and easy to come by surely?
I also can't find a 10% 120uf tantalum capacitor, or a 100uf one, at 16v on RS or Maplin
