Which is a better rellay BOSCH or SIEMENS

I was just wondering,cause i came across this deal on some SIEMENS rellays,now since most people use BOSCH should i compromise or not to worry,what do you guys think ?

Thank you !

I've used alot of different relays in the past ( Potter Brummfield, Bosch, Siemens, cheap no name generic brand ) and they all work the same. In the end I would rather pay 75 cents for a relay than $ 5.00 for a brand name one that does the same thing. I have not had a single one of those cheaper relays come back or fail in any of the installs that i've done.

To continue this a bit farther...does anyone have any part numbers for a particular brand's relays?  I get strange looks at the generic auto parts stores when I ask for a SPDT relay, and the electronics shops tend to have very expensive, large industrial stuff (too big for motorcycle apps), and/or they've only got 4PDT relays, high pull-in voltage ratings, etc...

Anyone have specifics?  (Cheaper and smaller, the better, of course...)

Thanks,

Chris

One member suggested going to an automtive wrecker for cheaper relays. He got quite a few for a couple of dollars and you would have your choice of size and amperage as well.

Ahh...thanks!

That makes sense...wide selection & cheap prices...can't beat that!

Hey   Pickle,

Cheap relays can sometimes be good.  I say sometimes because I wouldn't trust a cheapie for ignition or starter kill but for trunk release I'd slap the sucker in inside of a wink.
