Reply to "Replacement for DZ-1008 Relay for Ross Switch Powered Rails (04/23/21 Update)"

In looking at the parts availability, I see that the surface mount relay is out of stock and has long lead times.  Based on the availability of the thru-hole relay, I shifted gears and I'll use that relay, those are still available.

I added two jumpers to do the cross connection between the two sets of relay contacts, this avoids having to wire them separately from the connector. This will wire just like the DZ-1008, power in, two contacts out to the dead rails.

I also enhanced the relay pick with an accelerator cap.  This allows a reliable pick of the relay while having a large enough value resistor to avoid overheating the relay when energized for a long period of time.  This avoids having to have a regulated power supply for the relay.

The 10-pin connector is optional, I suspect many will simply solder to the board for the connections and treat this just like the DZ-1008 relay board.
