Good source for Automotive relays?

[D-n-Tyke]

Getting ready to wire up a car and need to add a bunch or relays for components (fuel pump, fans, etc). Where is the best pace to get decent quality relays, that I can get pretty quick? I see a bunch on amazon of course but figure most of those are junk. Anyone have a good source?

Omron makes a pretty good quality relay. Their made in the USA stuff was excellent but almost impossible to find now. I think all manufacturing went overseas. It's still a good product.

I have had good luck with Flosser brand. I got the last ones off amazon.

Hella brand. Kartek probably carries them because Kartek carries everything LOL.

What would be the 87a spade on the Flosser is a second 87, handy for some applications.

Looking at needing no more than 5 (plus the socket and terminals). I am in El Cajon.

normally on a relay 30 is power 87a is normally closed and 87 is the lead that is powered when the relay is activated

I get that. On the 30 amp Flosser the spade that is 87a in your illustration is also powered when the relay is activated.

that is weird that could cause problems if someone used one in the place of a standard 5 pin relay. as far as i know that diagram was the industry standard for all 5 pin relays

I bought these last year and was happy with the quality.

I remember hearing Bosch is the best you can get. Just thought I'd bring that up.

These are the ones I have in stock.  Only thing I don't like is the mounting tab is anodized steel and rusts around salt water.

I've always used Bosch relays with zero issues. DON~~~

might want to look into the holley solid state relays and never have a problem again.  if they trip I simple power cycle and they are reset and ready to go.  both cars have them now. Get the red one it is the higher amp load.   Amazon.com: MSD 7564 Relay Kit (Stand Alone Solid State -4) : Automotive
