I've always bought such relays from Graingers. Dayton is the Grainger 
house brand. Never had any problem with them, but I've worked with 
primarily DC coil ones so my experience with AC ones is to limited to 
say.

You should have a Grainger account for such things. They carry other 
brands beside Dayton.
