Quoted from girloveswaffles:
Seems to be a relay based on what? A small relay in line with the line voltage on neutral? Doesn't make much sense. More likely to be a choke of some sort. BTW, that part you list is rated at 12VDC. If that's the coil voltage, It'd be toast when line voltage was applied.
Also, it appears that the at mystery component may have ceen removed, or someone did a real bad solder re-flow job on the back.

It would appear the relay is designed to drive a 120vac load connected to the 2 pin molex connector.

What is this for? A band box or something (automated electronics)

I guess it's for a lucky egg chicken machine (capsule vendor).

What you describe sounds like a reed switch, similar to what is used on a alarmed window or door. One block is the magnet, the other block the reed switch. Some are normally open and others are normally closed and change state when a magnet comes in close proximety with it.

There should be two wires going to it. Disconnect the main logic and check the ohms rating across it (not just continuity beep) when both open and closed.
