Hey yall,
Building a pair of Don Classics U76. I'm completely green to sourcing parts for a build (previous projects have been all-in kits) and I need some basics explained to me.
The TE Connectivity IM07TS relay is out of stock on Mouser. Searching for IM07TS on Alibaba turns up tons of results and a few with a minimum order of 1 (I need 2) so that's great! But...
1) Are they likely to be real TE Connectivity IM07TS or off-brand?
2) Does it even matter? Looking at the schematic for the U76, I couldn't see the relay in the audio path, but I could also be wrong about that. Sound / reliability are my concerns.
3) Someone on gearslutz suggested I could use any relay of the same spec in its place and didn't need to worry about it being a TE Connectivity one. But then he deleted his post. Seems to make sense though. Is that correct? If so, what should I be looking for? Any "DPDT 2A 250V" relay or are there specific specs I should be trying to match up?
Thanks!
