Note :
I just received a new order from Whitney this morning, and they have
apparently changed vendors for the 30 amp relays. The units I got this time
are marked "Made in China" and "40 amps". They actually look somewhat
better made than the ones I already had (metal mounting tabs, etc.), but
only time will tell if they hold up.
