I found some at a local Electronics Supplier store in Riverside, CA. They are pretty large, and the contacts can take several amps of load. They were solder type though.

Nate, this is a case where size doesn't matter...lol. What you are looking for is the amp rating for the relay....30 amps is a pretty routine relay in the 12v world...if you need more than 30 amp service I think you are going to have to go to a specialty type relay...try some of the larger places like JEGS, Macromotive etc.

On the other hand, 30 amps at 12 volts is 360 watts. I can't think of an automotive load that is this large.

Watts equals volts multiplied by amperes.... 12 volts times 30 amperes is
360 watts... at least according to Ohm's law it is. ;)Jerry

The last I heard, 30 x 12 = 360. For 30 amps to equal 180 watts, the voltage would have to be limited to 6 volts.

Even on a measly little sports car, the heater blower would blow a 25 amp fuse.

Not to cast dispersions on the webmaster of that site, but unless an "Amper" is 0.5 ampere DC, Power in watts is still equal to Volts x Amperes and a 30 ampere load at 12 volts is still 360 watts. To be picky, it is somewhere between about 300 and 450 watts unless it has a separate regulator.
