12v relays - who makes good quality ones?
I'm plumbing up an electric fuel pump system, and need a source for GOOD QUALITY 12v relays. They need to be able to trigger a 30A circuit.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks Reed,
That picture with the part number did the trick.

$3.99 ea., so I bought a few spares.

You should check out the draw on your fuel pumps. If they are 30 amp draw then I would suggest you wire them in parallel as you are to close to the tollerences of even the 30-40 relay. Most fuel pump relays are 60 amp. However by wireing in parallel you get a 60-80 relay. Hope that helps. Oh ya these are car relays so make sure you seal them up and also I would use a liberal coating of white lithium grease or something similiar to help with Corrosion.
