Menbaa High Current Relay RL/180-12, 12 V, 120 A, Normally Open, IP54 - For Motorhomes, Boats and Solar Systems
- Menbaa RL/180-12 high current relay, 12 V, 120 A (200 A for 5 s), NO, IP54.
The Menbaa RL/180-12 relay is a normally open (NO) relay for switching high currents in 12 V systems. It handles 120 A continuously and 200 A for 5 seconds. The housing is rated IP54 and has a suppression resistor.
Use
The relay works in cars, motorhomes, boats and solar or battery systems: for linking batteries or switching an inverter, winch or other high-draw consumers. A small control current from a switch or controller closes the main contact, so the heavy power cable can stay short and run straight from the battery.

Safe installation
Work on batteries and heavy cables requires care: disconnect the negative terminal before fitting, tighten terminals to the right torque and protect every circuit with a fuse matched to the cable cross-section. If in doubt, have an auto electrician do the installation.
