C.P. Clare Mercury wetted relays

Hi everyone,

I have these mercury wetted relays but can't find any data. Could you help me? 😊

Difficult. These are usually very good, very old (and very poisonous too). I think the HGS6077 is a bistable relay. You could test with 3V on the coils and then going up to 5V etc. Maybe the "6" in HGS60xx says 6V.

Newer type but maybe of some use:

Please: I am pretty sure you know the health risks of mercury so please never throw these away in normal house garbage. Today one even has to explain/label them when discarding them as not many know what mercury is as it has been banned for a while now.
