Quite true, but finding a DC rating might be bothersome. The relay is not expensive. I would just get it and try it. One could always add a bigger relay downstream of the latching relay.

I know it makes a difference and more of one the greater the current, but I don't know important it is. DC is harder to break than AC and tends to arc which messes up the contacts quicker. _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://www.liveaboardnow.org/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardnow.org/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
