bosch relay minimum voltage

[Curt Sprenger]

MR,
A handy tool...Regulated Switching Power DC/DC Converter #PCT DC-292. I purchased it at powerstream.com .Use it to test a Bosch relay activation & deactivation. Check it out on the net.

MR,
Activate voltage is about 8 volts for a Bosch relay. The drop out voltage is 1 to 5 volts.

Greetings All:



What is the minimum voltage needed to reliably activate the bosch relays used in the headlight and taillight mods?



I need to boost the voltage to the trailer receptacle, but want to avoid running a new wire loom from the front of my PT.



Thanks--
