I ordered direct replacement relays from eBay, with metal cap and identical schematic. Was sent these - different part number and the poles on 85 and 86 are reversed from the OEM...but the diode appears to be situated in the proper direction. Are these correct and usable? Tried contacting the seller but no response after 2 days so I need to figure out whether to return them or not..
Yep, they’re the same configuration. Don’t worry about the diode being on the other side of the coil, it’ll work just the same. The diode is just there to stop reverse voltages when the coil de-energises
