Re: Close to disaster

We use those wide terminal relays in some of our systems to drive the triple condenser fans or the double evaporator fans. In some cases they run both. I would consider that to be a reliable option for up to 45-50A continuous. They are also used in Ford ABS motor circuits and in some of the diesel systems as well.

Looks like the Mercedes # is actually a round pin relay with a 40A fuse installed in the relay (see photo below). Very cool.

Here's a relay with wide terminals and a socket:
