Reply With QuoteThe kind of relays used for battery isolators may be more your scene, they use 8mm studs and nuts I believe. Try an auto electrician instead.

I'm looking at putting a fuse block in the engine bay (TD5 Disco) that has a max load of 125 amp with 25 max on any line. I'm putting this in the rear rh corner of the engine bay.
Off it I want to feed phone chArgers, spotlight relays, air compressor, and other items. Ionly want it to be powered off the acc feed or higher so I'm putting in a ~150amp relay.
I know it's never going to draw very high current, but I put in some 150A cable that I had spare, but all the relays I can find (jaycar/altronics) only have small spade connectors. Obviously a small spade connector is both hard to connect to a thick cable.
Any suggestions on relays with large -say 4mm screw- terminals?

Hi stallie, it sounds like you are going at this the wrong way.
It would be wiser to use smaller relays, one for each circuit.
A 150 amp continuous rated solenoid ( relay by another name ) draws heaps of power to run the solenoid itself.

Durite in the UK sell high power relays with the terminals you are after. I'm not sure about 150A. I bought a 100A relay to feed a bluesea fuse block.
They sell the relays on eBay.

Thanks Drive Safe - I will do as you say for stuff I don't want live all the time.
