Hello Everyone,

It seems TE Connectivity is going to be discontinuing the V23105A5003A201 relay's at some point in the near future, however they don't give the date (https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-8-1393792-8.html).

I know other some people used alternatives which proved to be compatible. At the moment Mouser and probably other still have a good stock, but I figured it would be good to mention this in case anyone wanted to grab a couple of spares for their existing computer or even order some for a new build.

Thank you, Jim.

I successfully just built my relay computer using J104D relays from CIT. The "J104D2C12VDC.15S" relays work very well, e.g. https://www.digikey.de/de/products/detail/cit-relay-and-switch/J104D2C12VDC-15S/12503689?s=N4IgTCBcDa4CxwJwFoBSBGADHAImAwumAGo74B06ArAMrIByOIAugL5A

I did not have to interchange any relays, they seem to be working as they should.
