Product Description

The switching capacity of the switchboard is 40A/30A.
A heavy-duty impact molded relay socket with five wires*white (normally closed), black (normally open), and yellow (normally closed).
There are 5 relays plus 5 relay sockets with wires included in the package.
The main contact is made of UL Flame retardant 9" wires.

Questions & Answers

Why does the red wire have a red connection?

As long as the relay is not on, the red wire remains connected to pin 87a, which remains connected to the common (pin 30, blue). Circuits like this are referred to by the term "Normally Closed" (NC). If you are going to use it, don't use it unless you want the relay to power something off when it is activated As a general rule, you leave the connection unplugged for most operations.

Can you tell me what gauge the wires that come off the relay are?

16 guage seems to be what they are. The insulation is thicker than normal, so there is most likely a lead wire in there, possibly

How well do these work to shut off air ride suspension on a truck compressor?

Generally speaking, these components should work as long as the total amp draw of the compressor and any other components of the air suspension system is smaller than the relay's 40 amp rating.

I am more of an AC guy than a DC guy, but I believe you can run 24v through your no terminal, just as long as you have 12v to power the coil on the relay, ?

15 Volts DC) to close the contacts on In a normal environment, the normally closed terminals are open when the normally open terminals are closed. Once the terminals are closed, they can handle 30 amps of DC current. Currently, the voltage that can be handled at the N/C and N/O terminals is not specified. Although 24 volts is a possibility, I'm certain that they can handle it. It's okay to put more than 14, but not more than 16. The coil has a DC voltage of 4V.

The battery saver is of excellent quality, easy to install, and will save you money on your recharge! Let me try to explain a relay to those of you who may not understand it
5/5

There is a wire from the relay that goes to the switch and another wire that goes to the positive and negative terminals of your batteries (or simply grounded). In most cases, this is the ignition switch, but it can also be a secondary toggle switch if you have Lastly, you will find the positive and negative outputs that go to the accessory of your choice. In the case of a relay, you can connect a thin gauge wire from the switched circuit (usually connected to the ignition) to the relay a long way. Large gauge wire is more expensive and it makes no sense to run 20 feet of 8 gauge wire if you don't have to! Keep the power wires short when you can because large gauge wire is more expensive! These are good for a few projects, but I bought them primarily for my ATV since I have so many accessories on it and I wanted them to only be turned on when the ignition is turned Wired to the relay is an ignition box, and that box then goes to the fuse box. I was very satisfied with how easy it was to wire the relays, and each relay has a wiring diagram. Even if you still don't understand, you can find photos all over the internet that provide a straightforward explanation. The gauge of the wire that is attached to the relay has been asked by many people. You don't have to worry about the short run, and the NEC guide confirms it can handle 40 amps continuously. excellent quality and are available in a five pack, so there's no reason not to get them. A very good price and good quality can be found here. You should buy them if you wish to keep your battery alive. Thank you for reading my review and I hope you will click the 'Yes' button below if you found it helpful. Thanks a lot!.

A continuous 10 amp relay with 16 AWG is not rated for anything beyond that
3/5

The cons are According to the manufacturer, all wires are 16 AWG and no more than 10 Amps continuously should be used Also, they claim Ambient temperature ranges from 40 to 125 degrees C. A maximum temperature of 105 Degree C is listed for NOT POSSIBLE Wire. Unless the ambient temperature is 90°C, I would not use these relays for more than 10 Amps and if the coil will not reach 75 degrees at 25 Amps. The coil and wires were both above 75 degrees in my basement with an ambient of 22°C. The pros are You could get a relay and a connector with wires for $2+. Quite good, but I do not trust the cooling and heating capabilities of 30-pages of text A 40 AMP circuit. Do not believe everything you read about your application, and be careful how you write it.

The product does not mention its mounting features, which they should
5/5

Take a look at the pictures! It was both the price and what they would be used for that convinced me to purchase this relay pack. There are five devices on my golf cart that a standard switch would not be able to handle. I intended to mount it all on a panel so that it would look as In the package, I noticed that each socket has a female and male slide. This means I can connect as many of them together as I would like. The clean look and ease of mounting them makes their installation easy. There should have been a mention of this in the ad (probably would have sold It also appears that each relay is sealed on the bottom, which is a huge.

Please take a close look at this Wires that are too thin For amps greater than 15 amps, it is not recommended
3/5

If your load is over 15 amps, I would not recommend it. It is simply not possible to do much more with 16 gauge wiring. The next time I looked closer, I should have looked more closely. However, the quality appeared to be good & the price to be fair It went smoothly from installation to completion. This method enabled me to bypass an integrated fuel pump relay in a fuse panel of a customer's vehicle. The relays are sealed and have an electrical ground A very good job was done on the wiring. had a 20 amp circuit that had 14 gauge wiring on the load side of the vehicle. I wish I would have looked a little closer at the wiring size before I bought it. In my case, 14 gauge wiring was fine for my 20 amp circuit, but it is imperative to use at least 12 gauge wiring to make the circuit safe if you are going to run a 30 amp circuit. I have now identified the weakest link in my circuit to be the wire for the relay. My mistake was that I purchased a relay with fine gauge wiring and if I did it again I would purchase a different relay. In the future, I will save these components for a project requiring a lower amp rating. The best of luck to you - grrr The Arbez.

However, other than that, they work fine
3/5

Both of them use 16 gauge wire, despite the fact that the relay is 30/40 amps. I run a 30 amp pump that got the wires so hot that they melted. It is now just a matter of crimping on the fast tabs and plugging directly into Other than that, they work well. However, they need to use 12 gauge wire.

However, if you do not know what to do, you may damage your computer
4/5

They work fine, but you should plan your installation carefully to be sure only the correct kinds of wires are used. Unlike other relays, these do not have a typical color coding structure (the red wire of this relay will not be in the same place as the red wire of another relay). This relay comes with directions and a diagram. You just need to read them and follow them. Apart from that, the function is fine. These are not weatherproof. Although they are water-resistant, do not place them in areas that are likely to get wet, such as the engine compartment of a car. The only thing I did wrong was a short under the hood, but that was my own fault, so I didn't deduct any points for it. Make sure you have a weather station on hand One that is suitable for under the hood or anywhere in the marine environment.

Work is done to a high standard
4/5

There isn't much to say about this 5 pin relay. It works perfectly and clicks when signaled. On my trailer I used two of them as well as a wireless remote to install backup lights and underglow lights. By using a pair of dpdt toggle switches, I was able to "override" the backup lights and trigger these relays manually when the tow vehicle was not connected. In this situation, I can activate the relays using the dry contacts on the wireless remote to be used as a remote key fob. There is only one thing I don't like about it the high voltage wires are 16 gauge, yet the relay state it can handle There should have been at least 14 gauge on the high voltage connections between input and output. With this setup, I feed 12 gauge wire to my fuse block from the battery, then 16 gauge through these relays, back out to 12 gauge for 30 feet back to the As long as I only feed my backup 18 watt LED lights with 3 amps max through each relay, I'm not too concerned.
