Type "A" relays

After spending a puzzling few minutes.

I've learned something new.
Never knew there was two different layouts of relays.

I give you type "A" relays
type A relay
type A relay



Type A on left, Type B on right.

Nope I never knew that.

What a bloody stupid idea.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Does anyone know why you would need the other configuration?

common problem this......it is the cause of many faults on diy repaired cars...
you will find that BMW's and Vauxhalls often use the type A relay and other cars (fords) the type B relays.....the type B relays are considered to be the standard relay.





sometimes you are the pigeon, most of the time the statue.

And to increase profits, as buy the wrong one, and have to buy another to correct the mis purchase

But this can have serious consequences. Get your supply and signal mixed up and expensive modules go pop!
