Relay coil burning out

[Clive S]

I suppose that if they just put the voltage on it would be fair to assume that AC or DC didn't matter ;-)

The relay states 24V AC on the picture. Thinking about it 24V AC will be RMS so the peak with be higher about 34V !!

Yes, indeed it will and you will then have AC running through an inductance, which should tell you something, if it doesn't then at least it tells you why AC or DC is included in component marking and should be observed ;-)
