Exact replacement for our original relay which was installed upside down (see FAQ for proper orientation) and failed after 7 years/475 hours. We’ll see if this one lasts longer when installed correctly.

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: For this part, is it correct ground the insulated case and use +12 to engage the relay. ( connected to the control terminal)?

Per the manufacturer, the answer is no. The terminal going to the coil is the negative side and should go to the master switch, and the positive side of the coil is common to the power terminal.

Q: What is the peak amperage rating, and the constant amperage rating?

Regarding part number 11-03161, the maximum inrush rating is 150 amps and the continuous duty rating is 80 amps.

Q: Does the coil of the relay have a diode to prevent any excess voltage spikes (as recommended by Dynon)?

Per the manufacturer, no it does not. Regarding part numbers 11-03161 / 11-05799.

Q: Is there a drawing available for these master relays? Specifically one that shows the terminals. Thanks.

We have added the drawing to the "Documents" tab of this web page. Please review it there.

Q: What is the current draw of the coil in amps?

The 70-111226-5B1 is a 12V continuous duty solenoid, so therefore the coil is rated at approximately 9 watts. Since P= IV. Or, 9=I (12). So for a 12 volt system, the current is 0.75 amps

Q: Can this relay be used in series with the starter circuit with a series Starter relay?

No, because the starter circuit requires high amperage we do not recommend using this relay.

Q: Does this relay can replace Cessna part 0850469-1?

No, these master relays are intended for use on experimental aircraft only.

Q: There are 2 images shown, one with 2 relay terminals and the other with 1. Which one do you receive when you order the 12 volt relay?

The single terminal version is the 12 volt. If you click for the full size image, you will see each image is watermarked with the sku for that product.

Q: Is there a recommended mounting orientation for the solenoid?

"Recommended mounting with cap down" per TDS.

Q: If its recommended to mount with the cap down why is the sticker (with writing) put on upside down? Once mounted the words will be upside down on the mounted solenoid.

This is shown cap down on our website, the writing is not upside down.
