I've found the following link on this site, and am unable to find any additional information on it through Google, etc. https://www.rct.net.au/PDF/Brochures/AusProTec/ELECTRonIC%20_RATCHET_RELAY_SBAP1204004.pdf Has anyone been able to purchase this unit? I have contacted the email address in the lower right corner but have not received a response. I don't understand why companies just.. ...don't want our money. *shrug* Any guidance is appreciated. Thank you. Jeff ------------- Don't mind me...

Here is an Alternate for around $20

Thanks John. The only thing I'm unclear on is how this thing works. I see where you hook "aux power" to the Pos+ and Neg- terminals, but it also appears that the Pos+ and Neg- terminals act as the outputs when the relay is toggled. Does this relay need an external power source to operate? The other question (which I'm sure Altronix will have to answer,) is, if this unit does need an outside power source, what happens to this module when the external power source is deenergized? I need something that effectively "goes dead" when the car it's installed into is turned off... Thanks for the links. I'm getting some information back from AusProTec - should have pricing here shortly. Jeff ------------- Don't mind me...

I have been selling a "kit" for Dodge Stratus and Mitsubishi Eclipse Coupes that bypass the factory ECU and uses the factory-installed, ground-current momentary-pulse fog light switch to control the factory SPST relay for the fog light circuit. In otherwords, using one momentary pulse to activate a constant ground current, and another pulse (from the SAME SOURCE) to deactivate the same current. Over the past few years, the price of the PAC TR-7 module I've been using for this "kit" has risen sharply in price - it now costs me the same price to buy the module as I used to sell the entire kit for, including shipping! I've been looking for a lower-price alternative since the TR-7 has multiple functions, and I only need one. I HAVE however found out where to buy the the 0047 module. It is available from T&H Parts in Craig, CO - phone number 970-326-8238 (contact name is John Ponikvar.) HOWEVER, the thing is $139 dollars!!!! And having 10 of them shipped to the states would cost $125 dollars!!! John readily admitted that the prices from RCT are ridiculous. I'm getting nowhere, and quickly. My target price is under $20 with REASONABLE shipping. ------------- Don't mind me...

Yeup - I've seen that drawing, and the 5-relay version for when your "load" requires ground current. It is FAR too time-consuming and - with the price of each relay, connectors, wires - probably far more than $20 for the entire setup. I'm selling these things in volume and need something quick, cheap and effective. If I was only building one, this would work. But that isn't the case. Thanks though - I think the answer is "stick to what I already had." Jeff ------------- Don't mind me...

Any experience building electronic circuits?
It should be really simple to use an IC and transistor to do what you're looking for. One pulse to turn on, another pulse to turn off. And with power off, it'd turn off by default.
If by volume you mean thousands, you could get a pc board made up, and the components put on for the assembly. Well under $20.
