Oddball-Looking Relays

[TomoHawk]

I have ordered some odd-looking relays via eBay recently to see what they are like and how they would work out.  Both are the 4-pin type.

One is a "waterproof relay" that comes in its own shell, and the other is a relay with an integrated blade fuse.

What I'm interested in knowing is that for the former relay, is it practical? The the base has the terminals, the cap has the relay inside, and you plug them together.  For the latter, would you trust it to work if mounted on the inner fender?  It looks like the socket where the fuse goes would be most likely to collect water and eventually corrode. If not, this relay would make it convenient, as you don't need to wire in a fuse holder too.

BTW-  they are all pictured with the  metal mounting bracket, but when I asked about it, I was told you don't get the bracket!  I suppose you could make one, but it wouldn't have the small knuckle that keeps the relay from slipping off, unless you can figure out how to put one in.

                       

Opinions?
