Yeah thanks maxSteel I had looked all over this forum and google up the part but no luck also caledl couples of ppl but they sold out! I wonder if someone can know the source and do a big order. I don't mind paid $10-$15 for one. It better than paid $300-$400 for the whole switch.

Thanks

Hi dbui,

I looked further into trying to find someone with extra stock, vs taking a chance and ordering through ali express. Unfortunately I have not yet found a source in N.A. that still has extra inventory.

I am still unsure of taking a chance and ordering thru ali express. Based upon reviewing multiple ratings, all of the suppliers had a very high rate of shipments not arriving or not being the part they ordered.

Yeah Macmasdad, I been searching high and low but no luck, I talked to all the big electronic manufacture which I google online, they said this product is been discontinue since 2010,
The only one I saw on ebay available and asking for $45 each it's highway robbery. IMO. I will continue to do further research to see if any similar relay which cross reference to this.
if anyone knows please chime in, this info will help everyone on the forum who ran into this problem on their RX.

Thank you!

I came close for the cross reference relay but the pins are not on the same out put CR2-12V cross reference with ACJ5112 so close but not the same pins out put.

I found this at aliexpress for $10 shipped.

I ordered the same relay from a vendor at Aliexpress 2+ years ago and it still works.

Macmasdad

Thanks Lexmus, it is good to know someone had a good experience with aliexpress for that relay. Looks like there have been quite a few orders from that vendor over the last couple months. Unfortunately I don't see any ratings posted yet for those recent orders. With the individual piece price stated, I guess if there are any issues at least I would not be out any major $$$.

Macmasdad

Just placed my order for two. One+ backup. Wish me luck. I will post my hopeful success (or failure).

dbui

Cool thank Lexmu, Macmasdad keep us update!

Please keep us posted. I tried two or three different aliexpress vendors and each said their stock was zero after I placed the order.

Lexmus

Has anyone tried Sierra IC? They claim to have over 500 in stock but you have to request a quote.

Thank you for the link Lexmus.

Macmasdad

I did not come across Sierra IC. Just requested a quote for a couple of them, and also requested to understand what they may actually have in stock and will let everyone know their response.
I had previously checked with couple other distributors whom had incorrectly stated inventory quantities on hand.

dbui

Yes, I checked with Sierra IC Sale and Technical Reps, they said some DoD dept bought all of their CR2-12V and the 500 inventory was incorrect on their website and website had not yet been update! Like I said in the early posted I look high and low but can not find one only couples on ebay asking $45 each, I even cross reference with other similar relay but no luck. Please help if you know what can be replace cross reference or where to purchase with a decent prices.

Thanks
