Customer Reviews

Probably not what you expect
This is a 5-pin socket, but there are only 4 connectors & 3 leads. Relay pins 30 & 85 are tied together with a short jumper, and the remaining leads are for 86 and 87a. So, the way it works (e.g.) is that when 30 is hooked to your 12V DC, the jumper applies the trigger voltage to 85. If 86 is grounded, then you get *nothing* out of the 87a (NC) lead. You make this "work" by switching *open* the (86) lead to ground, allowing juice to flow out 87a. Why they don't just provide 5 connectors and 5 leads, especially including 87 (NO), I don't know. Save yourself a headache, and find a *relay* with the diode built in, and get a plain socket with 5 connectors & leads.

It's not bad, just cheap.
As KEITH said, if you need five connectors then you will need a sacrificial socket as new bare quick connect female connectors with the lock-in tab (removable with a pin or brad) are hard to find. The shunted connector can be moved to another terminal or clipped and spliced, a trivial task. Wires appear to be only 18 gauge; for sturdier wiring consider the double sockets with longer 16 gauge wires. These have external diodes. Sockets can be ganged together. Definitely a cheap socket.
