need a 12v dc relay with coil res 60 ohms

i need a 12 volt dc relay with a coil impedance of 60 ohms, i have checked jaycar and farnells both in australia and i can not find anything, the closest i have found it a 24 volt relay with the correct impedance any help with what really and were to buy would be greatly appreciated

Why does it have to be 60 ohms?Kevin Pierson

X 2 with Kevin, why 60? Most Bosch/Tycho automotive relays are if I remember about 85-95ohms, I believe KP knows more about this than me, surely for most circuits (and a description of what the circuit is would help) 60-100 ohms, the difference doesn't matter.

It's for a project I need to source parts it just says I need 12v relay a 60 ohm coil no other specs as to why, it can't be any greater than 60 ohms now because that would change the base current needed to saturate my transistor

determine the resistance of the Bosch/Tyco relay, add resistor in parallel to reduce total value to the 60 ohms needed. mark

Good thinking Mark, I'll measure one in a couple of hours and post back the results.

I tried two different Bosch style automotive relays, one was 78, the other 85 ohms, start with 80ohms resistance as described by Ween and play till you get the required impedance.

I checked four of mine and they were 88 ohms, 91 ohms, 90 ohms, and 91 ohms.Kevin Pierson

I too question why 60 Ohms. I would normally interpret that as "no less than 60 Ohms" - ie, no more than a ~200mA load. (It's not driven by a 555 timer per chance?) I have Jap relays that are ~60 to 68 Ohms, but using a common relay and a parallel resistor is the best suggestion. But again, I doubt that needing to be as low as 60 Ohms is really that critical. (And Silicon Chip "Circuit Notebook" info is often erroneous.)    

Omron list G8JR-1A7T-R-DC12, automotive cube type, with the built in resistor it's 64.5 ohms, but they state +/- 15% tolerance. Forget what I said about 80 ohms, I'd now suggest nearer 1.5kR. I suggest you Google OMRON and go to the relay section and start looking!
