someone had a GREAT idea, mount a fuse in the relay.....

I just got an 2001 Yamaha motorcycle running for a friend, and I noticed that the starter relay had a fuse plus a spare mounted in the relay. I hadn,t seen one like that before. Great idea to keep it close.

I like it!

They are nice Jay. I needed one and bought this deal last year so 5 more waiting on the shelf!

Temu is reportedly not one of the better Chinese companies to deal with.

They may be OK if you change the fuse. As someone posted elsewhere, the Chinesium knock off fuses don't always blow at the rated current. Sometimes not even 4x the current!
A more reliable source for fused relays:

Relay w/ Built-in Fuse 40A

High quality sealed relay which is typically used for ECU, injectors, and coils when building your own harness. One relay required per item being wired. Electrical Connections:85 - Trigger - FT auxiliary output (activated when switched to ground)86 - Switched 12V30 - Battery 12V87 - Output for...

Would not help me regardless of accuracy. My relay is mounted at the end of an 8' feed from the battery and piloted by a switched 10A work light circuit. All it would protect is the 4 x 15A fuse block it feeds...

They are actually quite common in industrial equipment. We have several machines that use them exclusively. No other fuses or power distribution outside of a bank of these.

Wish I had seen them before I redid all the wiring and added circuitry to my machine. I used relays and inline fuses on everything I added. Don't want to burn my machine down after all the resto work I did last year

Well, of course you want to protect the circuit as close to the power source as possible. I was just putting the dangers of cheap import fuses out there.

Silver alloy contacts? Not my first choice for a power relay.

I bought a package of six pretty and cheap rocker switches on Amazone last year - 3 have died so far. I love buying cheap tools because I enjoy doing the job several times repairing cheap broken tools multiple times. Why buy a cheap part once when you can buy it multiple times...

When ever I hit a junk yard I grab some mult-purpose relays from underneath the hood. Bonus if they have a pigtail I can cut off. The counter guys never cared about them.

i’ve ordered different things from Tamu. All arrived quickly, and they stood behind what they supplied . If I complained about something, which I did several times, and they gave me an immediate refund.

Can’t say more than that… whatever you get there, it certainly isn’t top shelf, but I found it to be very functional, and cost effective, in most cases.
