KenC210 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 So i am able to get tons of these relays but they dont come like a standard relay with the 87 83 86 etc... So i was wonder if some of you guys would be abale to look at these relays and be able to tell which post may be what... One seems to be like a spdt relay and the other like an spst relay. Just wondering what post could be what.

snafu Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 You can easily determine that with an Ohm meter or DMM. Problem is, without some kind of cover to keep out the elements, they're not particularly useful for automotive use. These look like they were designed for use within a sealed environment of some kind. Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

KenC210 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Glad you were the one to respond, was hoping you would help. Well yeah they do have covers i just took them off to show the insides to better help out anyone that could help. If using a dmm i would just check for continuity? How would i do it with a dmm?

Bump4life Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 they look to be normal relays? just different configuration. the one with 5 pins has the constant power out. DMM to check continuity.

KenC210 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) So i did a quick search on how to check a relay but i am getting things that say i need to check with a 12volt source also. Some are also telling me about the pin number 86 87 30 etc.. I know how to wire relays by using the number configurations but the thing is i don't have any numbers on the relays and there wasn't any numbers on the covers either. Any ideas? edit: i could guess and say that the two silver prongs are going to be the pos or remote, they are tied in with the copper spool and also a resistor. The copper prongs i would guess be the ground or the switch.

Bump4life Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) if you can see in relay, use this diagram and you can figure it out. on 5 pin one i would guess and say that the middle pin is constant power pin 87a. (edit: dont know why i put 28a ahaha) or you can just hook up up with low power and amperage to see what works. you wont break it Edited August 28, 2012 by Bump4life Quote Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

Ray Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 The leads that go to the coil will be your 12+ and - input wires The pins that go to the contacts are your switch wires. Meaning whatever you want to control. Looks like a simple layout. The 3 together would be the 87,87and 30 The 2 up top are prob 85,86 Quote 2008 California state record holder 157.2 Bassrace2009 California state record holder 157.0 BassraceRollin 50's 158.7db2009 King of Cali Bassrace2009 USACi score 160.5 @ 42hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noe619 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 looks like a spst and spdt...you need a 12v dc source to energize the coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noe619 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 9volt battery should do it for a quick test...you will hear the contact "click" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenC210 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks for the help... i figured out, with a little messing around, what is power ground and how the relay will work... I did not get a chance to mess with a switch yet but i will. Also how would i be able to tell if its a 20a 30a or even a lower amp relay?
