Will AC relays like this one:http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=425-2395-5-NDAlso work for DC current? Here's a direct link to the datasheet if anyone is interested:http://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/Sharp%20PDFs/S108,208T01.pdfI like the look of this relay because it is very high-voltage and high current (8amps) for its price. I just need to know if I can control DC current with it or if it will only work with AC.

Soeren, how on earth do you remember all these part numbers?
The TIP120 should work perfectly for my application. The datasheet I found on it (here) indicates that it has a current gain of 1000.
To switch it on at 5V base current, I would need to use a 1kOhm resistor, right?
