Well, if you can no longer swing a 2"x12", use whatever you can still lift. ;-)

Are Mercury wetted contacts still used? That was one way to keep low energy (non - arcing) contacts from bouncing.

As one who's never used a relay before in anything critical I come up with a dumb question...
Do relays "bounce" when they are OPENING enough to re-contact?

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
Relays bounce when you close a contact. If you have a situation where this will cause a problem, put a capacitor across the contacts or buy a mercury wetted relay for really sensitive situations.

I don't think they bounce when opening, but for sure, the arc is there, especially with reactive loads.
