Define common. I would opine that few common consumer devices today would include a a 5vdc DPDT relay as there are cheaper and smaller switching methods available. But again it depends on your definition of common.

I have pulled many small relays out of TVs. Other then that I can't think of any household electronics that would for sure contain relays. I have 100's of small relays around, but almost all have come out of salvaged industrial machinery control boards.

The reason Eric asked your location is quite simple:
1. Some countries have a number of electronic stores, which could have been suggested by someone (a fellow Latvian for example) more familiar with them.
2. As Eric states, if you were in the same country he would have sent you some relays. Some members have small surplus items that they have no problem donating to others.
3. You never know, there may just be another member close by to where you live, who would be quite happy to help you out with a problem. I recall that both Eric & Nigel have helped out Big Al Scorpio with an oscilloscope problem.
Why members omit to fill out the basic profile info is beyond me.
