Casalytics Relay 896H-1CH-C-R1-U03 – 5-Pin Plug-in 12VDC SPDT Automotive Relay (Set of 4), 50A Flux-Tight

Overview

Casalytics presents the Relay 896H-1CH-C-R1-U03, a compact 5-pin plug-in automotive relay designed for 12VDC systems. Its SPDT configuration lets you route power between two circuits, offering flexible control in everyday vehicle wiring without occupying extra space.

Built to endure tough automotive environments, the flux-tight enclosure protects internal components from moisture, dust, and temperature swings. The AgSnO alloy contacts contribute to durable, repeatable performance, and the unit weighs roughly 25 g, making it easy to fit into crowded harnesses or fuse blocks.

Key benefits

• High current capability: rated up to 50A at 12VDC for demanding loads like headlights, cooling fans, or power accessories.
• SPDT configuration: enables seamless switching between two circuits for efficient circuit routing.
• Plug-in installation: reduces install time by snapping into a compatible socket without soldering.
• Flux-tight enclosure: designed to withstand harsh environments typical of automotive use.

• Durable contact material: AgSnO alloy supports consistent contact performance and longer life.
• Compact and lightweight: about 25 g helps save space in crowded wiring areas.

Practical usage concepts

In standard vehicle setups, you might route a high-current accessory between battery and power rail using the SPDT path, or swap a circuit with a simple relay control signal. The plug-in design supports quick replacement if a relay fails or you’re upgrading an existing installation.
