Questions & Answers
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes There are at least three different ways to connect this depending on what you plan to use it for. I'll do my best to describe the three options. The first is the question you've posed- example: Pin 30 would be used to connect the video source, such as a security camera, and pin 87 would be used to connect the video target or destination. When the relay is not energized, pin 87a can be used to input into another target or destination device (monitor/recorder), and when the relay is energized, pin 87 can be used to input into another device (monitor/recorder). If you wanted to input data from two different devices, you could use the third option. source, for example, two video cameras to a single target- (recorder/monitor) All you'd have to do is reverse the process. Example: To the receiving device, connect camera no. 1 to pin 87a, and camera no. 2 to pin 87 and pin 30. (recorder/monitor) I strongly advise you to get some female RCA ends and cut your shielded cable as short as possible before connecting it to the relay. You could just use regular male RCA cables to connect to the relay this way. Before soldering or connecting the center conductors to the relay wires, make sure that all of the shields (grounds) are connected. Keep all wires in close proximity to the relay as short as possible. This is the color code for the relay: Pin number 85- Coil for relay- Negative 12 volts dc, black = ground Pin number 86- Coil for relay- White=12 volts dc positive. Pin number 30 Red. Pin number 87a- Yellow. No. 87 of a hundred and seventy-seven different pins. Blue. These relays can work with voltages as low as 9 volts DC and as high as 15 volts DC. I'd go with a minimum of 250mA. I hope you find this information useful. Best of luck with your project, and please stay safe. Harlan C.
I'm not at home right now, so I can't inspect it, but as an ex-offshore inspector, I can attest to the quality of these relays' construction because I'm a picky guy! I put it on my truck, and it's been splashed and jet washed, and it's still dry and functional.

I'm not sure how the 12g wiring harness is supposed to handle 80 amps, so I'm not sure if the relay is capable of handling that much current. Regardless, I connected it to a circuit that was drawing 27 amps at full load, causing the supposedly 30 amp relays to blow. I figure that if it meets my needs, I won't mind if it's overrated. I put it through three hours of continuous, full load draw testing, and it passed with flying colors. It warms up a little, but not to the point where I'm concerned. Fortunately, it won't be used at full capacity very often, and only time will tell how long it will last.
For UTVs, this is a must-have. On a Polaris Ranger UTV, it's used as a reverse/backup light. You can also purchase the other type as a pre-made item. Watertight relays are not available in wired solutions. This relay is completely sealed against the elements. The pin out is clearly marked and is made of heavy duty material. Great instructions can be found right here on their page, and they include instructions for both ground and positive triggers. If you crimp this unit in with a couple of watertight crimps, you won't have to worry about anything. I could have gone with the 30amp version, but for a few dollars more, I'll be able to use these for other things without worrying about drawing too much current.
Red represents 12V power in, Blue represents 12V out to load, and Yellow represents 12V out, normally closed. The smaller Black and White wires are swutch trigger wires. How long this low-cost relay will work is yet to be seen. Now it's fully functional. The pigtail needed to be replaced, so one star was deducted.
It was used to control four nitrous oxide solenoids. 6 amps. This relay team has handled the situation admirably. The relay and the solenoid, both of which require battery power, are excited with 12V. All of the connections were strengthened with a high-current screw rail and spade connectors.
This product worked great as a replacement relay for my boat's trim and tilt; the original Volvo equipment was a 30/40 amp relay that kept breaking down, and the location where the relay is mounted gets a lot of water. These relays appear to work much better than the OEM ones, and there have been no problems thus far.
These were used to replace a sealed control module for my boat's jackplate. This was a far more cost-effective solution that also provided me with extra relays. The relays were ready to use right away. br>The socket's seal appears to be of good quality. br>Everything was exactly as described and is currently working perfectly.
I would have given it 5 stars if one of the pigtails had been damaged from the start. I was fortunate in that I only required three because I had a share. After discovering that the first pigtail was damaged, I used my pin extractor to remove each terminal and solder them.
I've seen quite a few relays in my time. Anything larger than 30/40 amp usually has the larger pin sizes for pin 30. 30 amp to 40 amp with the smaller pin sizes 87 and 87a are two numbers that can be combined to make a total of 87 Sorry, but these have piqued my interest, and I will not be using them in my 60 amp circuit. Please accept my apologies if I am mistaken about this product, but I will go with my gut. These will be used in a circuit with a lower amp draw.
