Hmmmm ... I input both "Trombetta" and "Bear" in their search box and came up with nothing.
Maybe I should have input "silver alloy plated contacts" instead. :h - Vixen21Explorer

- tad94564ExplorerLooking on ebay for copies of that relay, one of the pages stated that relay is NOT for continuous use.

- landyacht318ExplorerIt is unique in that it appears to be the size and shape of a regular Bosch style 30 amp relay, but this one says 200 amps and is likely closer to the size of your fist.
I wonder of 200 amps is a continuous rating. - kaydeejayExplorer

I agree - nothing weird there.
I guess I'm not seeing the weird part. Looks like a normal automotive 200a relay. - TodduptonExplorerI guess I'm not seeing the weird part. Looks like a normal automotive 200a relay.
