Kill Switch Relay: Where can I get one?
 

I'm looking for a relay that is naturally closed (and then open onced powered) for my kill switch. This is to dump alternator current back through a resistor an davoid damaging the diodes.

I went to my local auto store where the guy threw a 20 page relay book at me. Couldn't find the right one or one that could take the amps. I think I need 75A. Correct?

Anyway, any sources for this would be great.

Thanks

I am interested in doing this... but have little idea where to start. When you get this sorted out, any chance you could put together a little how-to?

Sure, it's very basic but I just can't find the right relay!

They are available from Jegs, or if you want a standard relay, you simply need to go to a Radio Shack or other electronics supply. You need a relay with NC poles with contacts that will handle the amperage.

Thanks. Went to Jegs. There are 5 pages of Relays! The only ones I could see that might take the amps are the starter relays. But there is no data on closed vs. open. I'll have to call.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Thanks. :)
