This LV Automotive 24V 5 Pin Waterproof Relay C/O steps in when a 24V circuit needs change-over control on a 5 pin layout. You can run a single feed on terminal 30 and switch between terminals 87 and 87a for lights or accessories. The relay and base stack neatly near your fuse box, taking only a few centimetres of rail space so you can still get out there with a clean setup. The sealed housing and blue ring are sized to cover the joint between relay and base by several millimetres, helping shield contacts from spray and dust. The flat blade pins match common automotive widths around 6 mm, so your existing crimp tools work fine. The included terminals and seals give the kit a proven connection path for 24V circuits that cop dirt and vibration. For the price, it is a smart buy for any touring electrical upgrade.

Q: Can I use this relay on a 12V system?

No, this relay is rated for 24V systems. Using a 24V coil on 12V usually means the relay will not pull in correctly and can cause unreliable switching. For 12V setups you should use a relay with a 12V coil rating. Matching the relay coil voltage to the vehicle system keeps the gear working as intended.

Q: Does this relay come pre-wired?

No, the relay comes with a base, loose terminals and seals. You crimp the supplied terminals onto your own cable and insert them into the base. This lets you choose cable size and length to suit your setup. It also means you can match wire colours to your existing loom.

Q: How do I mount the relay and base?

The relay base includes a metal mounting tab. You fix the tab to a bracket or panel using a suitable screw or bolt. Once the base is mounted, the relay simply plugs into the base. This keeps the relay secure and helps prevent vibration damage.

Q: What type of loads can this relay switch?

This relay is suited to typical automotive 24V accessory loads. Common uses include lights, small compressors and switched power feeds. The actual load limit depends on the contact rating which should be checked before wiring. Always size your fuses and cable to match the load as well.
