Please give a manufacturer's P/N for that enclosure. The Mouser P/N you gave appears to be long gone from their catalog.

The part numbers still seems valid on my end. does this link in the description work for you? manufacturers part number is listed as CU-1954 (Bud Industries)

looks like they are carrying more in stock and its a slightly updated version too

Thanks man, glad you like it. They are super easy to make and great substitute for a PowerSwitchTail.

nice video. love the audio track, sounds very familiar. what is it?

Hi, I enjoyed a lot... I want to make a similar thing, but I didn't understand what cables you connected from the arduino to the relay. I thought you needed a transistor and I thought you just needed to connect 5V and gnd to the relay. You helped me a lot with this video!

Nice. I want to build one of these, thats cheap and easy.
