⚡ Hella 007793041 12V 50A SPST Mini ISO Relay with Mounting Bracket Review

* The tongue should be reinforced with metal, just plastic * The power leg of the relay has oversized contact blades that are too big for typical jacks and sockets * There are no holes distinguishing terminal legs differ from the standard product photo * The brand is reliable and the 50A current is a nice feature * The design is more compact than the relays I usually buy at my local parts store

This relay is rated for 50A and designed to match! Switched power connectors are 3/8" flat jacks instead of the "normal" 1/4" jacks. The coil terminals are 1/4 inch which is suitable for the current to be used there. I couldn't find an outlet that was rated for the larger spade terminals so I made my own using heavy gauge wire for the power cords. The packaging seems a bit smaller than a standard Bosch relay. The only downside I see is that the mounting tab is plastic. It seems pretty solid…

As already mentioned, the two flat plugs are very wide. Couldn't find connectors of this size at my local auto parts store which effectively meant I couldn't connect the relay without "extra Donal" measures. Even if I later had to replace the relay with a "normal" one, I would swap the plugs again. I'm sure the design is 'correct' (sorry I didn't know that) but you should really consider that before buying this relay. I'm seriously considering getting a grinding wheel to downsize the vane so…
