[Collins] Power Relay for the Collins 516F-2

[K2QDE]

CRA Members,



Ref: Album Section "Ceramic Tube Sockets & Power Relay for the Collins 
516F-2"

Item: 516F-2 Power Relay, K1



It has come to my attention that the relay referenced in my recently posted 
document, "Ceramic Tube Sockets & Power Relay for the Collins 516F-2," has 
been discontinued and is no longer available from the two sources listed. A 
call to Aromat [now Panasonic] confirmed that all stock was purged. However, 
the relay is available from a third supplier, Online Components 
[www.onlinecomponents.com]. OC lists availably of the JA1A-TM-AC115V. Do not 
select the P-version. The printed circuit board contacts will short to the 
chassis.



Please reframe from purchasing Digikey’s recommended replacement. 
Unfortunately, the depth of the Omron relays exceeds the height of the 
Collins chassis by 2.41mm, In the mean time, I will continue to search and 
evaluate additional relays.



Sorry for the inconvenience,

73, Stu, k2qde
