I just purchased a couple dozen of the project relays from WX0B for a project
<natch>///
They are standard relay frames/coils that he has a jobber mount a set of RF
rated contacts on...
They are configured for a straight through RF path, with no loops of twisted
wires, or dipsy doodles, etc..
The contacts are flashed with copper and silver...
They are 3PDT, so you can put the 3 in parallel for high current, low contact
resistance, etc...
He syas he has not hipotted the contacts to the frame for really high voltage
RF stuff, but for the usual 2 KW and reasonable impedence loads it is
reliable.. He uses them in his products...
What I discovered is that the coil end has a threaded hole in the center pole
allowing them to be solidly mechanically mounted with the contacts raised up,
as opposed to having to be soldered down to a circuit board... This is perfect
for antenna switching with my remote control feedline tuners...
Cheap is relative, but anything else that comes even close is $50....
