Hiall I'm looking for a heavy duty relay at least 40 amps +(which I have found many)
But I also want it to have thicker wires, like 8 gauge
But have not found any

does anyone make heavy duty ones with 8 gauge wires?

thanks

8awg is good for 100A so chances are you won't find any 40A devices with 8awg wire. You could always make your own harness though!

Just some 8g w/ female connectors should work fine...Plugs right into relay legs...!
