Detailed Description
The PUREVOLT 5-pin 12 V waterproof relay is the go-to component for automotive, marine and off-road power switching needs. Its S.P.D.T. (Single Pole Double Throw) contact configuration provides two output circuits: a normally open (N.O.) contact rated at 40 A for primary loads, and a normally closed (N.C.) contact rated at 30 A for secondary or safety circuits.
This sealed automotive relay stands out thanks to its weatherproof enclosure, which shields internal contacts from moisture, corrosion and water splashing - critical for under-hood and outdoor installations. The 12 V DC control coil, wired through DIN 72552-standard terminals 85 and 86, ensures direct plug-in compatibility with existing Bosch-style wiring harnesses and relay sockets.
Compact and lightweight, this 5-pin power relay fits easily into standard relay housings or mounts directly to a vehicle's chassis. Whether you are building a custom lighting system, wiring a fuel pump, or upgrading a cooling fan circuit, this vehicle relay delivers the switching performance and durability needed for a wide range of 12 V applications.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the 30 A and 40 A ratings on this relay?
A: This S.P.D.T. relay has two output contacts. The normally open (N.O., terminal 87) contact handles up to 40 A for primary loads, while the normally closed (N.C., terminal 87a) contact supports up to 30 A for secondary or failsafe circuits. Choose the appropriate output based on your circuit's requirements.
Q: Is this relay compatible with standard Bosch-style relay sockets and harnesses?
A: Yes. Compliant with DIN 72552, this relay uses the standard pin numbering (30, 85, 86, 87, 87a) and plugs directly into Bosch-style sockets and wiring harnesses widely available on the market.
Q: Can this waterproof relay be used in a boat or ATV?
A: Absolutely. Its sealed, weatherproof housing makes it well suited for moisture-prone environments such as boats, ATVs, off-road vehicles and outdoor installations, in addition to standard automotive use.
Q: What are typical applications for this 12 V 30/40 A relay?
A: This relay is ideal for switching cooling fans, fuel pumps, horns, auxiliary lights, electric starters and other high-current 12 V DC accessories in automotive and marine environments.
