655 is Mouser's manufacturer ID number. The relay part number is the
KA-11DG-110
KRPA would be a P&K variation.
Another possibility more widely stocked may be from NTE, though the 110
volt DC relays are not commonly stocked anywhere these days. I saw a new
NTE relay catalog a week or so ago here as I packed it in a box and
moved it. So I can't look for the relay there right now.

There may be parts from other makers that will fit and function.
