Is the relays from onlinecomponents US-made? Suspiciously low price..:

onlinecomponenets is a reliable source and, yes, the OMRON High Current relays are not expensive.

The description in the ebay ad is mostly good. I question the NO/NC current ratings (not shown) and would rather see a view of the information on the top of the relay.

Interesting to see the full size contact blades. The standard G8HE has the smaller blades throughout. Perhaps this is the "1" after the "R" in the model number?

Thanks for your input, docc. I ordered Omrons from eBay last winter and swapped all five a few weeks ago. Is there any chance to verify the quality without tearing one apart?

I received my 10 Omrons from Online Components two weeks ago. See attached, they say Made In USA, and work fine. Perhaps they can sell cheaper due to volume (min 10 per order).

Anyway, if anyone is interested in the other 5 I now have, will ship to the lower 48 for $20.

I'm interested! How much for shipping to Norway? Please PM or even better: hammershaug at mac dot com

I'm sorry, I have no idea what these would cost to ship to Norway.

I recall @Rolf Halvorsen securing an inventory of these in Norway. Perhaps he still has some available?

[hammershaug]

Good idea. I haven’t spoke to Rolf since October, so it’s about time:)

I recently got some Omrons from Verical   https://www.verical.com/

the onlinecomponents order I placed never arrived-  not sure it was their fault but they did not offer a refund or replacement-  saying it was too late when I told them the package did not arrive. I was a bit late checking, but I'd been patiently waiting.. or so I thought.  

 

Verical showed up quick and seem to work!

Recent reports that Online Components no longer has the C-form (5-pin) G8HE. They apparently have the A-form (4-pin) which can be used in Positions 2-5 on our V11, but not Position #1/ Start Relay. That requires a Form C/ 5-pin.

If anyone discovers a source for the discontinued OMRON G8HE-1C7T-R-DC12, please post!
