RELAY BASE TERMINAL 20-16 GA 3/16 PUSH-ON

AMP Relay Base Terminal 20-16 GA 3/16 Push-On – Light-to-Mid Gauge Terminal for Relay and Signal Circuits

The AMP Relay Base Terminal for 20-16 AWG wire with 3/16-inch push-on tab (30075) is a crimp terminal for relay socket and relay panel wiring at the signal and moderate-current end of the circuit spectrum. The 3/16-inch push-on tab format is used for relay coil control signal connections and lower-current load circuits, complementing the heavier 1/4-inch format used for high-current power feeds. An essential relay panel wiring component for motorsport builds across Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

3/16-Inch vs 1/4-Inch Push-On Relay Terminals – Which to Use

Standard automotive relay sockets use two terminal sizes: 3/16-inch (4.75mm) tabs for the relay coil control connections (typically 85 and 86 terminals) and 1/4-inch (6.35mm) tabs for the main power and load connections (typically 30, 87, and 87A terminals). The 3/16-inch terminal (30075) is the correct choice for the coil control pins that switch the relay using lower-current ECU outputs, while the 1/4-inch terminal is used for the high-current switched output pins. Getting these terminals confused results in a loose, arcing connection at the relay socket.
