[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 903240, member: 277"] Relay Life Expectation is sort of iffy but 12k cycles is nothing. As much as I looked through the specs I didn't find a Deer Strike specification. However, there are mechanical shock and vibration ratings listed for Functional and Destructive levels. A common minimum Destructive Mechanical Shock spec is 100Gs. How hard did ya hit that deer? Contact life expectancy is load and cycle dependent, but should still be in excess of 100k cycles. The coil and mechanical part should make 1e6 cycles. If the contacts were to see a sudden high current inrush (like may happen when a deer crushes the front of a FJR and mashes all the wiring) the contact(s) could have suffered damage. As I mentioned in the previous thread, I expect to see contact failure. The question is if it is a de-bonded contact button or a burned contact. [/QUOTE]
