Diode-Protected Relay

$8.00

The Cortex EBC’s auxiliary outputs cannot directly control standard automotive relays due to the voltage spikes that occur when relays switch off. The Picker PC792A-1AA-C1-12S-DN-X relays feature an integrated suppression diode, which eliminates these spikes and allows the relays to be safely controlled. The D87 configuration provides two normally open terminals, allowing for the control of a single device drawing up to 40A or two devices drawing up to 20A each.

INSTALLATION NOTE:
Unlike standard automotive relays, diode-protected relays are polarized. Terminal 86 must be connected to +12V, and terminal 85 must be connected to the Cortex EBC output. Reversing this polarity will create a short circuit, resulting in the immediate failure of both the relay and the Cortex EBC output. Verify your connections before applying power.
