I tested both relays and they work just fine. The included terminals are okay, but I did flatten out all of the locking tabs. Just the normal grip of the terminals on the relay pins is adequate for me. And since I'm not using them in a high vibration environment I do not want the locking feature. For me I just hand crimped them with a small pair of needle nose pliers then soldered them. They take solder very well. I suspect they are tin plated. Sanding one showed the brass under the plating, so they are definitely not aluminum. The included terminal insulators are okay, but not great. I wish they gripped the terminal better. I'll switch to a small piece of heat shrink tubing instead. And as for the included indicator, I really do not care one way or the other. Once the relay was installed in the project enclosure I can't see it anyway. I bought these because of the case having built in mounting flanges. No relay socket and or DIN rail needed. This lets them fit into a smaller enclosure.

Why pay more? Internally, these are just as well made as any 10A DPDT relays in my parts box, for less than half the price. These are great for reversing polarity, when reversing a brushed motor, for example. The only noticeably cheaper part is the pins, which are not brass (or copper), or even plated. If you're running right up to (or over) the 10 Amp rating, there's a possibility of these terminals being damaged or the connection overheating. My application is unlikely to run over 6 or 7 amps, so I'm fine with it.The included terminals are trash. don't bother using them. These are very thin... aluminum I think... and have a pin crimp connection rather than a tubular crimp sleeve. Pin crimps are usually fine when sized correctly to the application, but to properly crimp this connection the larger, rear sleeve attaches to the insulated wire. The smaller front crimp of these included connectors do not have enough surface area to provide anything but a signal connection. Though if you have a very low power application these might work fine, removing them from the relay pins is difficult. These tabbed sleeve connectors attach to the relay pins much more securely that they attach to connected wire, and you'll have a blast trying to get them off without pulling the wire off the tab, even when pulling on the connector (as you should) and not the wire. Normally this kind of crimp is used when the pins are placed in a housing, which will help apply force to the pins and not the connection when removing wires.Anyway, no big deal, use normal tubular crimps, or a relay socket, and throw these cheap connectors out.

"For the price I paid, the product is good enough."

It's a nice, solid part. I wouldn't use it under the hood, but for home devices and DIY gadgets, it's a clear winner.Notice the pun? It's clear, which makes wiring a breeze. Sure, it follows standard pinout convention, but it's reassuring to be able to see inside and KNOW which pin is wired to what.The included connectors with separate, silicone insulating jackets are good as well. A little lighter-weight than I would like, they get the job done, and are good for more current than the coil or contacts.All told, it's a great part.

I like these relays. They are working well in my application (pinball machine upgrades). If you are switching a motor, be careful to not overload the rated contact current with a high motor starting current.The page states "Overall size(approx. ): 86 x 56 x 28mm/ 3.39 x 2.2 x 1.1 inches(L*w*h)". This is incorrect by a large amount. For this product size matters. The correct size is 43 x 21 x 41mm/ 1.7 x .85 x 1.6 inches(L*W*H), including the mounting tabs. The mounting tabs are designed for 38.5mm (1.5 inch) on center separation between screws. Each tab extends 0.3 inches (8mm beyond the relay's rectangular body. The plastic rectangular body is 27 x 21 x 35mm/ 1.1 x .85 x 1.36 inches(L*w*h).I do not recommend using the supplied terminals unless you plan to never remove them. Each terminal has an anti-removal tang that interlocks with the hole in the associated relay contact. To remove a terminal you have to bend this very tiny tang back out of the way. It's nearly impossible to do on an installed relay. More likely you will forget the tang and simply pull the wire out of the terminal crimp trying to remove the terminal from the relay. Better to use standard 4.8mm female spade connectors.

Good

Small and compact, already have used a couple of them and so far, so good..even have a small LED light built in to show when coil is powered up..would definitely recommend..
