Review on ⚙️ 12 VDC 5-Pin Relay Socket for Bosch Type Relay - Parts Express 330-075, Enhanced SEO by Michael Boyle

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wires not 14 ga as advertised

All relay wires supplied are 18 ga rather than 14 and 18 as advertised, insulation is thicker on 3 wires giving the appearance of thicker wires. Once you strip them you will see the actual size of the wire. I emailed the seller to let him know in case his supplier changed something without his knowledge. After a fairly quick reply (posted below) I got nothing from them and the misleading description hasn't changed. These outlets are not rated for anything over a few amps. Save your money and buy the ones that really work. email exchange. Please note I have not requested a refund, check the seller's return policy to see why." "In stripping the wires for installation, I found that the wires aren't even as thick as an unwanted 16 -ga wire I left behind from another project All 5 wires are actually the same size, only the power/load wires have much thicker insulation to give the impression of a heavier wire Supplier is joking with you or what is the deal but your description is totally wrong and they are unusable as far as I know there is no point in returning them as the packaging and shipping is the same as the parts description.--- ---------- End of Message -------------"You replied to me within a day or so"Hi, thanks for the feedback. We will check our inventory to ensure that the 12v 5 pin relay sockets we supplied are exactly as described. Sincerely, Googol S Jump"
