Need a DPDT Relay for Crossing Gate Circuit
Author: dgraves

I am in need to a 12V DC 100ma or less DPDT relay to drive a tortoise that will connect with a Circuitron DT-2 crossing controller. Checked Radio Shack and they no longer carry a suitable relay. Circuitron sells their ER-2 relay, but it is about $20.00 Just wondering if there is a cheaper alternative?

Try Jameco Electronics. jameco.com. Type in 12VDC DPDT relay in the search box. I see some starting at $2.95(US)

Ebay is often a good place for electronic parts.
