Del City's description does not mention manufacturer or country of origin.
Wish the product zoom pics were a little better to make out the label easier, but it looks like the off-shore, Asian, off-brand stuff.
Parts Express pricing is close, and at least Parts Express tells you where the units are coming from.

Thanks Ted. I was stranded two weeks ago, because a mfer relay. Its really my bad, for not placing the relay in a proper location, rather than leaving it where it gets wet.

I will be trying the Tyco ones, thanks for the link!
