Multiple connections to a Power relay?
Dave Bailey - 12/10/08 at 08:56 PM

I am using a 100 Amp Power relay and I have a number of connections I need to make to each terminal. I do not like to use too many ring terminals and so I am considering soldering multiple wires into a single tube ring crimp. Anyone see any problem with this for SVA?

thanks

I don't think that would be a problem for SVA as long as the wires are correctly supported, routed and insulated etc.

A neater solution may be a bus bar/power distribution block like this if you can find a similar item available in the uk.

Caveat: I know very little about these things.

But on my loom instructions it clearly states never to use a fuel pump and a fan on the same relay. Mine are therefore routed separately through separate relays, both of which go on when the power is on.
