Relays - General Information

Relays - General Information

Below is a simple guide to different types of relays

None of this is special information specific to the AU Falcon, but for the sake of brevity and convenience, only relays included in the model are listed here

4-Way Mini-ISO Relay

Layout

87
86 85
30

Functionality

These relays represent the simplest form of automotive relay. Put simply, when a 12v signal is provided from pin 86 to 85, then the 12V constant power from pin 30 will be connected to pin 87 with any 12V power present.

Example - Simple Auxiliary device

5-Way Mini-ISO Relay

Layout

87
85 87a 85
30

Functionality

These relays are quite similar to the 4-Way Mini-ISO relays, however they have another pin available, for when the relay is not switched. As a result, this is probably best not to be used for a circuit that is constantly powered, as it will likely cause a parasitic draw from the car battery, even when off.

Example - switching between exclusive systems

4-Way Micro-ISO Relay

These relays are not particularly common compared to the mini-ISO counterparts, however they function in a very similar way. Unfortunately the pin numbers are also changed on these relays, likely due to the difference in standards

The OEM relays from the AU Falcons appear to be 5-Way Micro-ISO relays with the alternate output pin, pin 4, cut off.

Layout

3
5
2 1

Functionality

These relays function exactly the same as the 4-Way Mini-ISO relays. Put simply, when a 12v signal is provided from pin 2 to 1, then the 12V constant power from pin 3 will be connected to pin 5 with any 12V power present.

Example - Simple Auxiliary device

A 5-way relay for the same Micro-ISO size would function more like the 5-way Mini-ISO relay, however it is not noted as it is not relevant to this project

3-Way Flasher Relay

Functionality

There is only one of these types of relays present in the AU Falcon, used for the Indicator bulb circuit within the vehicle. Power is quite simple with a caveat. When power is supplied between 12V pin 49 and the Earth on pin 31, the positive output of pin 49a will flash depending on the wattage required for the pin. The important caveat is simple: the OEM flasher relay is designed for up to 6x21W globes across 2 circuits and a trailer circuit (sometimes denoted as 2 + 1 (6) x 21w), and as such, changes in lighting such as LED conversion or incorrect wattage globes can damage the flasher relay and cause the indicators to flash too quickly.
