Thought some others might be interested in this:
5 Pack 30/40 AMP Relay Harness Spdt 12V Bosch Style - $4.61.
No mounting screws, but the relay has a mounting tab with hole.
Being 5 pin, SPDT relays, they have both N.O. and N.C. outputs for flexibility.
Caveats:
*) The relays are NOT marked water proof so I assume they aren't and should only be used in the cabin area.
*) The wires in the harness seem to be 18ga. which is OK for the control current but rather small for 30 amps. I plan on swapping them out when going above 15 amps. For 30 amps I would recommend 14ga. and 12ga. for the full 40 amps. I'll probably just use 12 ga. since I always have plenty on hand.
*) Shipping is as much as the relay/harness pack, so final price is about $2/relay.
Bottom line, after ordering a single pack and inspecting them, I ordered an additional 3 more packs. Being a ham radio geek I always have projects going on and will use them for something.
