Today we'll be taking a look at the Derale 4060 amp relay. This allows you to run your electrical fan even if it draws more than 10 amps. This is going to have a 25 amp continuous power but it can handle surges up to 40 or 60 amps. It has the five-prong design on the bottom and you can see that we have some little embossed there to help make it easy to match those up with our wiring diagram that the relay comes with.If you have a wiring harness that this just plugs into you'll just need to match up those prongs and plug it right in. But if you're actually wiring directly to the harness, we'll have an 87, an 87A. 87, 87A, 30 and then an 86 and 85.
On the side we'll have a little diagram printed on the relay as well and then at the top there's a small hole so you can attach this with a self-tap in screw or a zip tie as needed.Just for reference, give you some measurements here. It's about 1-1/8 inch wide and about an inch deep. With that little tab at the top it's about an 1-1/4 inch. Then the relay stands about an inch. With the tab on top it's about 1-1/2 inch tall.
This does not include the wiring harness. You will need to pick that up separately. And this does come with a one-year warranty from Derale. And that's going to do it for our look at the Derale 4060 amp relay.

If your electric fan, including one on a remote, fan-mounted cooler, draws more than 10 amps of power, a relay is recommended to prevent any disruption of your vehicle's electrical system.Had just what I needed. Shipping was quick, only took a few days. I have an electric fan that kills these relays from time to time so I'm out of comission without a replacement.
