dc relay
Hey guys,
Having a brain issue. Are automotive relays bipolar? or are they polarized? I picked up some cheap relays and there's no indication of a pos/neg pole on the coil....I'm guessing it don't make a difference! sb |
Re: dc relay
It don't, you are just creating a magnet to pull the contacts in.

Re: dc relay
What size are you talking the small 20 amp ones, like for auxiliary
lights? http://www.kchilites.com/instruction...layHarness.pdf You may have to use the plus size in order to see the numbers that both Bosch and Radio Shack use. The solenoid coil would be polarized, the the power running through the points wouldn't make a nickel's worth of difference.

Re: dc relay
These are rated 40Amps. $3 per at Princess Auto...I finally found the one
near me and had a chub the whole time I was there!! haha I realized the points won't matter....there ARE numbers on the contacts (5contacts...2-coils, 3-switch {n/o & n/c})....but these numbers don't lead you to think ones pos or neg!
