Differences in Bosch relays...

Hey Jim...or others who are in the know...

I have been searching for genuine Bosch relays, and have come across a couple different numbers.

Bosch # 0 332 204 150

Bosch # 0 332 209 150

These two numbers appear to be the same relay. Each with the small tab on the back to fasten it to a mounting location. Is it a difference in AMP rating//20/30 and 30/40?



I also found these numbers...

Bosch # 0 332 204 151

Bosch # 0 332 209 151

Pretty easy to see the difference between these numbers, and the ones above. These ones do not have the tab for mounting the relay.

Thanks for the help.

And since Bosch has changed there name to Tyco, and probably shifted manufacturing to another country...how is the quality of the Tyco relays?

Here is a publication from Bosch, this should give you some information.

I have a PDF of every relay Bosch makes with specs and base diagrams I will look for.

As far as quality, I do not know but I get my relays from a heavy truck parts and Tyco are the new replacements.

I would defiantly stay away from no name relays sold in the auto parts for off road lights.

Some good names are Bosch, Tyco, Hella, Potter-Brumfield, Allen Bradley,

I get my relay sockets from the same truck parts some have true 10-gauge terminals and wires on term. #30, #87 & 87a.

I will look when I get home.

Jim
