Jane, I have also used these type of relays. Try HAMLIN ( www.hamlin.com )or try ALEPH (www.aleph-usa.com ), HASCO ( www.reedswitches.com ) or TELEDYNE relays (www.teledynerelays.com ). I can personally recommend all of them. The Teledyne relays that I use are quite, VERY low insertion loss (for RF), and low current consumption. Really, the needs depend on your application. Hope this helps.

What is that relay called? I'm sure the electronic stores here won't be able to distinguish what type of relay is that. Thanks as usual, Jinx.
