Hi Valin,
I looked at this seriously but at the time there
was very limited information available on the web site for evaluating the
failure mode.
My biggest concern about a starter contactor is
that there is the potential for a dead short in the starter and I want to know I
can get the thing turned off. If you look at the dead short current on an
Odyssey battery, it's impressive. With a mechanical relay, you are
counting on the spring to open the contacts. With a solid state
device you are hoping that it doesn't fail in a way that conducts
current. I don't know what this one does and couldn't figure it out
so I passed. Maybe one of the EE's on the list could provide some insight
and know how to ask the question of the vendor. (e.g. what heppens to your
device when I give it 1500 amps for 1 sec?)
