Firstly, it doesn't feel cheap. It has a good weight and feels extremely heavy duty, with very thick plastic and a grommet that is so tight I struggled to get the two halves together (do it before wiring and/or installing or you'll almost surely have to take it back out). I seriously doubt I could get them apart. In addition to that I was surprised to see that the wire was all solid copper strands and what appears to be 12 gauge. I know it states that in the title/description, but to be honest I didn't actually expect it. Typically when corners are cut, cheap wiring is a very common place to do it. Given the HD feel, solid copper wires, and what appears to be solid waterproofing, I have no reason to believe they skimped on the inside. Also on a side note I appreciate the wiring diagrams in the item description. I have zero auto electrical knowledge but wanted to wire fog lamps up in parallel to my headlights but didn't want the lights drawing power from my headlight switch, so I T'd the power of this relay off the headlight lead and now only the relay draws power from it, as opposed to both fog bulbs. It's much much safer and should prolong the life of an expensive 45-year-old light switch. I will almost surely buy another of these when I add another external accessory. Review: Nice quality waterproof relay! - I upgraded my axles on my Jeep Rubicon and needed something to simulate the orignal locker detect switch. I wired this into the circuit so that when I turn my lockers on, the relay will close which tells the Jeep the locker is activated. This fixes the blinking locker light problem and turns it to a solid lit dash light. Very easy fix with this relay. I installed the relay near the axle, put wire loom over the wires and used zip ties to secure everything to the original wiring harness to prevent failure of the wires due to bending stresses. This relay is built well and looks like it will last a long time. I agree with another reviewer - the wires could be longer, 12 inches would be great so that I could have offset the waterproof splices I used. Will order another when the need arises. ## Features - Never go beyond its capabilities. Try to stay 10 to 15% below what the rate is for - 12-volt 5-prong (SPDT) relay. Excellent water-repellent and dustproof ability, but do not use it in water - Be careful when plugging the relay into the socket. If you push hard, you will bend the female connector - Primary leads use 12 a.w.g tinned copper wire. Coil leads use 16 a.w.g - SPDT relay: it has both normally open and normally closed terminals, terminal 87A is powered when the relay is inactive and switches the power to terminal 87 when the relay is activated ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B074QV54V1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #43,723 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #46 in Automotive Replacement Accessory Power Relays | | Brand | iRhapsody | | Brand Name | iRhapsody | | Coil Resistance | 80 ohm | | Coil Voltage | 12 volts | | Connector Type | Plug-In | | Contact Current Rating | 30 A | | Contact Material | Copper | | Contact Type | Normally Open, Closed | | Current Rating | 30 A | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,311 Reviews | | Manufacturer | IRHAPSODY | | Maximum Switching Current | 40 A | | Minimum Switching Voltage | 6 volts_of_direct_current | | Model | Relay-4V1 | | Mounting Type | Socket Mount | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Part Number | IY-5PinRelay-1 | | Warranty Description | 1 YEAR WARRANTY | | Wattage | 1.8 watts | ## Product Details - **Connector Type:** Plug-In - **Contact Material:** Copper - **Contact Type:** Normally Open, Closed - **Current Rating:** 30 A - **Mounting Type:** Socket Mount ## Images ![5-pin 40/30Amp 12V DC Waterproof Automotive Relay with Heavy-Duty Wire - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u4IdVMr7L.jpg) ![5-pin 40/30Amp 12V DC Waterproof Automotive Relay with Heavy-Duty Wire - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61sKrRyqMXL.jpg) ![5-pin 40/30Amp 12V DC Waterproof Automotive Relay with Heavy-Duty Wire - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KQGT2KqZL.jpg) ![5-pin 40/30Amp 12V DC Waterproof Automotive Relay with Heavy-Duty Wire - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rx+3A-bVL.jpg) ![5-pin 40/30Amp 12V DC Waterproof Automotive Relay with Heavy-Duty Wire - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nhrNUV22L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this solid state?** A: It has only an electromagnet (coil) which when activated pulls an armature which pulls contacts together, completing the circuit. Basically it is a switch. This is not transistorized **Q: Where are these relays made?** A: Based on the price I assume they are made in china. They are high quality. I run them on my race car and haven't had a problem. **Q: Will this relay work on a mercury force outboard 40hp 1998?** A: This is a universal 12v relay u will need to wire to it what ever you want to operate It's not a specific relay to you application **Q: How long does it take to ship** A: Few days ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I needed *by G***N on September 29, 2020* Time will tell if it's durable and the innards are up-to-spec, but my overall impression of this relay is extremely positive.

This is a relay that gets used almost daily, and it's held up remarkably well. The operation has been flawless, with no glitches or malfunctions to report. It's clear that this product was designed with durability and reliability in mind. A standout feature of this relay and harness is its waterproof quality. It's installed in the wet bay of my RV, a location that can often be problematic for electronic components. However, the Waterproof Relay and Harness has faced no such issues. This feature gives me confidence that it will outlast the original relay, which wasn't waterproof and failed prematurely. If you're in need of a durable and waterproof relay and harness, I highly recommend this one. ## Frequently Bought Together - irhapsody 1 Pack 40/30 AMP 12V DC Waterproof Relay and Harness - Heavy Duty 12 AWG Tinned Copper Wires, 5-PIN SPDT Automotive Relay - Compliance Parts LMC5 Module - C5 Corvette steering column lock bypass module Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47483866-5-pin-40-30amp-12v-dc-waterproof-automotive-relay-heavy](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/47483866-5-pin-40-30amp-12v-dc-waterproof-automotive-relay-heavy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-25*
