I'm working on interfacing a PLC to an existing machine that's full of
relays. I got to thinking that it would be a real time saver if I had a
relay breakout board of sorts. What I'm picturing is a relay base (in this
case an 8 pin rectangular that plugs into an 11 pin socket) that breaks out
into screw terminals.

The effect would be like piggybacking another socket on top of the original.
That would allow pre-wiring a lot of stuff and minimizing downtime, as well
as making the modifications easily reversible.

So, does such a device exist?

They shure do exist.

hmm. Maybe I didn't explain very well. The existing relays are already in existing sockets. I am looking for a device that can plug into the already existing sockets and provide a new set of screw terminals for me to connect to, so that I can make my connections without disturbing the existing wiring.

Also, the sockets in question are rectangular, not round. Like these: http://www.newark.com/idec/sr3b-05/r...00v/dp/13M2994

A bit of work... buy the socket you linked to and a relay to fit it. An
old defunct relay would probably be fine. Cut off the workings from the
relay but retain some connections to solder/attach wires to. Basically
make a short extender cable
