MEDIUM SPADE RELAY - Innovative Products of America

The Innovative Products of America (IPA) 9036A-2 Medium Spade Relay Bypass Switch with Loop is an essential diagnostic tool for professional automotive and industrial technicians. This specialized bypass switch enables direct control over circuits typically managed by medium spade relays, facilitating efficient troubleshooting and component testing independent of the vehicle's key-on system. Its integrated amp-loop feature allows for precise current monitoring, providing valuable insights into component health and electrical system performance.

Key Features

• Direct Circuit Activation: Bypasses existing relays to energize circuits manually, such as fuel pumps, cooling fans, and blower motors, for quick and accurate diagnosis.
• Integrated Amp-Loop: Features a convenient loop for attaching amp clamps or lab scopes, enabling technicians to monitor current draw and identify inconsistent loads or excessive current consumption in DC motors.
• Plug-and-Play Design: Designed for direct insertion into medium spade relay sockets, eliminating the need for complex wiring modifications during testing.
• Broad Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of domestic and Japanese vehicles from 1970-2009 that utilize medium spade relays.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Built to withstand the demands of a busy shop environment, ensuring durability and reliable performance.

Applications

This medium spade relay bypass switch is invaluable for various automotive diagnostic tasks. Technicians can use it to actuate fuel pumps with the engine off to conduct pressure tests or prime fuel systems. It is ideal for independently testing lights, horns, cooling fans, and other 12V DC motors, allowing for quick isolation of faulty components. The current monitoring capability is particularly useful for assessing the health of DC electric motors, helping to identify potential issues before they lead to complete failure. With an operating range of up to 20 amp continuous and a 30 amp surge (12V), it supports robust circuit testing.
