Ted Striker:
DON'T SOLDER YOUR RELAYS.  Sorry to yell but I wanted to get your attention.  The relay type COBeav selected from radio shack has a socket.  the socket has screw terminals on it.  you can wire to the screw terminals.  then the relay just snaps into the socket.  it won't come loose and if you ever have to replace the relay (you will eventually) you won't have to resolder all the connections.  email me if you need more information or I can send you pictures too.

Great write up and snapshots, COBeav.... The part number for the relay socket that I used was 2750220 $1.99.

Just in case the relay ever croaks... Here is/was a link to RadioSmacks site.

ampapa,

Does that socket have screw terminals on it that can't be seen from the picture or do you still need to solder the wires on to it?

Thanks,
COBeav

ampapa:
They are of the soldering type possibly also for wire crimped ends. Sorry, I forgot to mention that in my last post.

The obvious benefit to the socket is eliminating the direct soldering to the relay and possibly damaging it as well as making it easy to replace it for similar reasons.

ampapa, :D
