Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does a 40 amp relay do?
A 40 amp relay acts as a high-current switch. It allows a small control circuit, like a dashboard switch, to safely turn on and off larger electrical loads such as pumps, motors, or lights. This keeps your wiring safe and improves reliability, especially in marine and vehicle systems.

Why use a relay instead of a switch?
A relay lets you control high-current devices without running that current through a standard switch. This reduces wear on switches, allows shorter heavy-gauge wiring runs, and improves safety. Relays also perform better in harsh environments where vibration, moisture, and saltwater are present.

 

What size wire should I use for a 40 amp relay?
For most 12 V systems, use 8 AWG copper wire for the high-current connections to the relay. For longer runs or high-load applications, you can step up to 6 AWG copper to reduce voltage drop. The control circuit (coil) uses much thinner wire since it only carries a small current.
