<---I would think even your local Radio Joke (shack) would have one. Most
relays I've ever seen have the contact ratings stamped right on them. A 1
amp rating @ at least 110v is probably more than enough for several fans
(figuring 10 watts per fan, that would be 110 mils each. 1 amp contacts
would handle 9 of 'em no sweat. 

Of course don't worry if the contacts ratings are higher - that's just
icing on the cake :-)

<---Ick!. make that roughly 90 mils ea, so you could run 11!

Thanks Ken,
That was pretty much my question
I wanted to use the RIGHT relay that would handle the 110v.  
Thanks,
Robert
