Looking for a AE3244 Relay
- Thread starter Dennis K Shaffer
- Start date
Gotta get someone to do a YT vid showing the difference between a Japanese-made "cradle" relay like this one, and the american-made parts that look just the same.
Just one problem. The center row of pins are assigned differently. Even if you find one made in the USA or Mexico with pins that line up perfectly with the holes in the circuit board, it won't just drop in and work.
Best I remember it's a 4-pole double-throw relay with a 12-Volt DC coil. Back in the day, that type relay was built with two kinds of pin. Either a flat one with a tiny hole meant for a socket or a wire, or a skinnier one with a pointy end. Those are meant for insertion into a circuit board.
The relays with the pc-board pins have become frightfully rare the last few years.
You could take a different 4-pole 12-Volt relay and solder a wire to each of the 14 pins, and haywire each wire to the circuit-board hole where it goes.
Emphasis on "haywire". At least there is room in a base station to do such a thing. A mobile radio like this one with a bad relay is just tough luck. Would never fit.

I seen them with either one...somewhere there was a line change...
I have seen most "whiteface" versions with the 54...
I seen seen "Blackface" versions with both types(44 or 54)...(at least think so)
I'm old...
I used to have both here in parts drawer, when I was working on Blackface T1's.
Last one came across bench maybe 10 yrs ago, think I replaced the relay with last 44 w/new socket then.
I recall both the 44 & 54 versions were discontinued even before that time period.
Chris/Nomad: You have most certainly seen more than I since then, or even over time.
All the Best

I purchased relay for the Simba from here, just last year.....
