Lionel 180W PH Relay | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

The new bricks came out a couple of years ago, they were out of production for some time before that. I suspect due to component shortages they replaced things like the relay, and also the UL requirements needed the connector switch that has been discussed here before.

I have never had my hands on one of the new bricks as I have a bunch of the old bricks purchased on the used market. Cheapest I ever got one for is $50, most were $70-80. I have four on my layout, and three more waiting in the wings in case I need them.

UPDATE

Firstly a huge thanks to all the help especially from @gunrunnerjohn. In the end I should learn to quit second guessing myself. The relay was bad I had a relay that fit and does operate. Probably not the best selection but I had it on hand.

it is a 12VDC relay, like I said it does operate on the 8V. And the pin out matched. If I remember correctly this a Form C relay, it is a little long and does make a tight fit on the PCB but it will fit 😉

Cool, and finding a relay with the right pin spacing was a nice plus!

Turns out that Digikey has the 9V coil replacement: Omron G5LE-1 DC9 at Digikey
