[Amps] More on RF relays

[Vic Rosenthal]

There were so many answers to my question, that I thought I would 
describe the relays I finally used.  They are NTE R10-11D10-12 DPDT 
relays, rated 10A/240V.  They are open-frame relays in little plastic 
cases with plug/solder connections on one side.

I removed the cases and the jumpers that connect the moving arm to the 
connections; instead, I soldered a thin piece of copper foil directly to 
the point at the back of the arm where the jumpers had been connected. 
I used both sets of contacts in parallel.  These relays worked at the 
1500 watt level with no noticeable sign of heating, so I guess they will 
be OK.
