More from China: 5-pin 12V DC 40A Relay

[Guest]

I bought four of these relays cheaper than I could buy one locally.
I received them exactly two weeks from the purchase date.
The quality seems very solid and the pin layout is standard.
Pins are as follows, 30, 85, 86, 87, 87a.

Here's the eBay link:

The Bosch-style relay is a standard. Be sure and carry a spare or two, as I have had one of those blow up on me and leave me on the side of the road until I replaced it.
Not that it matters, but that is actually a 30A relay through terminal 87, the one we normally use. It is 40A through terminal 87a, which is seldom used.

Wow, I just bought four more of these relays and received them in 8 days.
That's fast coming from China. And so far, this seller does everything right.

Could have bought them from Parts Express and had them in less than half the time.

Yeah, they probably came from China, too, but they are already sitting in a warehouse in oHIo, so they are MUCH closer.

Click on the link above, you will see a selection of capacities and can even find one that is waterproof.

You can also find single, double and stackable sockets, as well as a socket with a diode to prevent kickback when the relay is opened.

That's good information to have. Thanks Steve.

I can get them even quicker than that, some times.

They are about 10 minutes from my house.

Now, if only I were only 10 minutes from my house.
