my electrical set-up, the source of my troubles? 700

posted by  someone claiming to be harddriver on  Tue Jun 11 17:59 CST 2002 [RELATED]

There was a post 3 days ago.
http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=480982
about the quality of the relays.
This guy said, that Volvo relays are somehow different inside
by means of materials - over the years.
He got no reply.

Bad material gives higher resistance and makes the relay hot.
Could be - newer relays are better - maybe.
Sir Don Foster - what do you say?

There was also long time ago an interesting thread about
soldering lead (look in the archives).
Short speaking: In resoldering the relays - get the electronic(!)
solder lead with 3 or 5 % silver. It gives less resistance
and protects against corrosion.

PS relays are naturally somehow hot - the high current going trough
is the reason why to use relays.
there is no cold high amp current except in superconductors.

my 2 cents
