Description
High-Power Automotive Controlfor when regular switches won’t work
FUNCTIONAL
Your high-power solution for when regular switches can’t handle high-current loads. Adding relays can become a complicated and messy project — our fused relay boxes provide centralized control and protection with minimal wiring involved. Ideal for all automotive devices such as spotlights, motors, pumps, and fans.
EASY INSTALLATION
Wiring is made easy. Each automotive relay box comes with a red main feeder cable and labeled screw terminals. Use the Installation Manual and wiring diagrams to help connect your power source, switches, and loads. It’s that easy.
RELIABLE
Quality is Guaranteed. Every automotive relay box is tested, with relays rated 40A at 12 volts to ensure optimal reliability come race time. What’s more, our relay boxes are built with GXL high temperature wire, and with no-nonsense screw terminal strips for reliable input and output wiring.

Modular Relay Panel Wiring Diagramshow to install 3, 4, 6, and 8 relay modules
STEP 1
Battery Power
Connect the red main feeder conductor to the car starter’s battery power terminal. Then, install the supplied main fuse and holder in the main feeder conductor between the starter and the power stud found inside the panel.
STEP 2
Switches & Grounds
Install a ground wire between the relay panel and the auto chassis. Then, connect the control circuit terminal to your switch inputs, with switch outputs connected to the appropriate screw terminals.
STEP 3
Outgoing loads
Connect your loads to the appropriate screw terminals. Ground your loads. See the 3, 4, 6, and 8 relay module diagrams above.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSAnswers to Popular questions
Why buy a fuse & relay panel?
When rebuilding, restoring, or refurbishing your vehicle, you’re bound to need electric pumps, fans, spotlights and more. These high-current devices will damage regular ignition key switches or low-current switch panels — however, an electromagnetic switching relay panel will give you the safe and reliable control you need.
Can this relay box operate “normally closed” devices?
No. Our SPST relay boxes are designed for standard normally open (N.O.) loads only. However, our specialty SPDT Bosch style relay boxes can power devices that are normally closed.
WIRING EXAMPLESsome popular relay panel projects
Negative Switching
Some devices are designed specifically for negative ground switching. With our SPST relay panels, every individual relay allows for negative switching. Simply connect your switch between the appropriate ground terminal and chassis. Note: switches with LEDs will not function properly with negative switching.
