    Hi!

    I'm installing a couple of electrical thingies this winter and I bought a relay which has two output pins that are switched with the control input. Since I only need to have a on/off I won't be using the standard output and I'm wondering if I can just terminate that cable (I'm planning on using a relay holder which has output cables) with some shrink tube (is that a correct term in English btw? :)) or should I find another realy which only has one output pin?

    Thanks!

    I have used the 5 pin relay on one of my installs and just covered the open blade with silicon to prevent contact with it.

    Heat shrink here in Canada. We have a different accent here.

    Thanks guys! Heat shrink does look familiar, shrink tube would be directly translated from Swedish :)
