TWTADE/JTX-2C, MK2P-I DPDT Power Relay with Plug-in Terminal Socket Base, AC 110V Coil, 8 Pin 2NO 2NC AC 110V

Needed to turn on some extra fans to circulate hot air when a smallish space heater (gas) was running. Ran a signal from the internal fan to the coil and ran power and fan loads to the contacts. Fun little project. But you should know that the coil on this package is on pins 1-8, while on most of the others that I've tripped over in the wild these are on on pins 2-7 (as is the inner terminals vs the outer terminals on the socket.) This is important if this relay eventually fails and somebody just plugs in any ol part without checking and verifying.

Decent 110V AC Power Relay for general use... No issues so far, works like a charm. Used for my Kasa Smart fireplace wall switch. Please see that review for more information.

can't beet it for price

We are using this relay to transfer 120 VAC "grid" power to 120 VAC "Sine Wave inverter" output power. This means this relay must be in the on position while on the grid power. In other words it is almost always turned on. We have had this relay on continuous duty for weeks now with absolutely no problem. Also, having a socket for this relay will make future replacements no problem.

Insufficient schematic wiring diagram printed on side of relay housing, saying "Bottom View', but when looking at bottom we cannot see anything but black plastic and pins. Appears to show terminals 1 and 8 are for the coil that is supposed to operate on 120 VAC. Applied 120 VAC to terminals 1 and 8, but coil does not operate. Went to TWTRADE website, but no schematic wiring diagram, no contact email, no contact phone. Typical lazy cheap, Chinese junk.

Terminal screw connections secure wiring well. Contact diagram makes accurate connections possible!

Descriptions

Has NTE printed on cover, but is not the same pinout as my original NTE DPDT R03−11A10−120,Genuine NTE has relay power 120vac across pins 2 and 7. This relay has power across 1 and 8. Plus pinoutsfor contacts are different. While they looked the same on the website, once in hand they clearly cannot be swapped into a socket wired for a standard NTE 120VAC DPDT R03−11A10−120 relay. Had to rewire my circuit to use these relays and put a big sign in the control box that they are NOT an NTE match. Once rewired, they work OK.
