Firstly, it doesn't feel cheap. It has a good weight and feels extremely heavy duty, with very thick plastic and a grommet that is so tight I struggled to get the two halves together (do it before wiring and/or installing or you'll almost surely have to take it back out). I seriously doubt I could get them apart. In addition to that I was surprised to see that the wire was all solid copper strands and what appears to be 12 gauge. I know it states that in the title/description, but to be honest I didn't actually expect it. Typically when corners are cut, cheap wiring is a very common place to do it. Given the HD feel, solid copper wires, and what appears to be solid waterproofing, I have no reason to believe they skimped on the inside. Also on a side note I appreciate the wiring diagrams in the item description. I have zero auto electrical knowledge but wanted to wire fog lamps up in parallel to my headlights but didn't want the lights drawing power from my headlight switch, so I T'd the power of this relay off the headlight lead and now only the relay draws power from it, as opposed to both fog bulbs. It's much much safer and should prolong the life of an expensive 45-year-old light switch. I will almost surely buy another of these when I add another external accessory. Review: Good Stuff! - Worked fine! This helped me to determine that the original relay that I was going to use this for wasn't a problem. So now I have a spare! ## Features - Never go beyond its capabilities. Try to stay 10 to 15% below what the rate is for - 12-volt 5-prong relay. Excellent water-repellent and dustproof ability, but not using it in water - Be careful when plugging the relay into the socket. If you push hard, you will bend the female connector - Primary leads use 12 a.w.g tinned copper wire. Coil leads use 16 a.w.g - SPDT relay: it has both normally open and normally closed terminals, terminal 87A is powered when the relay is inactive and switches the power to terminal 87 when the relay is activated ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074QV54V1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,147 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #14 in Automotive Replacement Accessory Power Relays | | Brand | iRhapsody | | Brand Name | iRhapsody | | Coil Resistance | 80 Ohms | | Coil Voltage | 12 Volts | | Connector Type | Wired Connectors | | Contact Current Rating | 30 Amps | | Contact Material | Copper | | Contact Type | Normally Open, Closed | | Current Rating | 40 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,269 Reviews | | Manufacturer | IRHAPSODY | | Maximum Switching Current | 40 Amps | | Minimum Switching Voltage | 6 Volts (DC) | | Model | Relay-4V1 | | Mounting Type | Socket Mount | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Part Number | IY-5PinRelay-1 | | Warranty Description | 1 YEAR WARRANTY | | Wattage | 1.8 watts | ## Product Details - **Connector Type:** Wired Connectors - **Contact Material:** Copper - **Contact Type:** Normally Open, Closed - **Current Rating:** 40 Amps - **Mounting Type:** Socket Mount ## Images ![- 1 Pack 40/30 AMP 12V DC Waterproof Relay Kit with Heavy-Duty Pigtail, 5-PIN SPDT Automotive Relay - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u4IdVMr7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this solid state?** A: It has only an electromagnet (coil) which when activated pulls an armature which pulls contacts together, completing the circuit. Basically it is a switch. This is not transistorized **Q: Where are these relays made?** A: Based on the price I assume they are made in china. They are high quality. I run them on my race car and haven't had a problem. **Q: Will this relay work on a mercury force outboard 40hp 1998?** A: This is a universal 12v relay u will need to wire to it what ever you want to operate It's not a specific relay to you application **Q: How long does it take to ship** A: Few days ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed *by G***N on September 29, 2020* Time will tell if it's durable and the innards are up-to-spec, but my overall impression of this relay is extremely positive.
