Al - The R10-E1Y4-V2.5K *IS* the plug-in version of the relay. This is the part number that was used in the C Line and the later TR-4's. The only other option that P&B has offered is for PC board mounting and is incompatible with the socket used by Drake. The socket clips are right at the surface of the socket, and since the spring clip retainer is used, we don't have to rely on pin friction to hold the relay in the socket.
The relay data is at: <http://catalog.tycoelectronics.com/TE/bin/TE.Connect?C=1&M=BYPN&PID=1 12061&PN=R10-E1Y4-V2.5K&LG=1&I=41> The only other version of this relay provided by P&B was the PC mount version with pins that are NOT compatible with the socket, which was designed for the flat solder tabs as used on the R10-E1Y4-V2.5K.
