HIGH TECH PARTS Car Parts

The High Tech Parts range brings together small electrical and service components. Most are 12V relays, including two-, three-, four- and five-pin flasher units, normally open relays, changeover relays, twin-output designs and mini or micro housings. Ratings shown in titles include 15A, 30A and 40A, while individual descriptions add terminal numbers, lamp loads, coil suppression and vehicle-specific applications. The remaining products cover inline petrol filters, diesel primer pumps or heads, gasket paper, a twist-lock choke cable and oil caps.

Select relays by circuit function and terminal diagram, not by pin count or case size. Two five-pin units may be changeover, twin-output or on/on arrangements, while a diode or resistor across the coil introduces polarity and control-module considerations. The current AutoMotoPart selection contains 35 High Tech Parts items, led by 35 maintenance entries. These High Tech Parts figures describe the range on this page rather than every product the brand may make elsewhere.

Record supply voltage, coil terminals, contact terminals, continuous and switching current, normally open or changeover state, suppression device, mounting and environmental protection. For flasher units, match terminal designations, lamp or trailer load and vehicle electronics; a unit that clicks does not prove the warning lamps flash at the correct rate. Never replace a relay solely because an identical housing fits the socket, as terminal allocation can differ.

For fuel filters and primers, identify fuel type, hose size, flow direction, pressure side and material compatibility, then work with ignition controlled and spills contained. Cut gasket paper only where the repair method permits a formed paper gasket and keep holes clear of oil or coolant passages. Match choke-cable travel and locking action without tight bends. Oil caps require the correct neck, seal and venting arrangement, not merely a vehicle marque in the title. The selection below is specification-led; final suitability depends on the exact circuit, system and part dimensions.

High Tech Parts: understand the range before choosing

High Tech Parts is treated here as a practical automotive component range rather than a verified standalone manufacturer history. The page is led by 12-volt electrical relays: multifunction, flasher, mini and micro formats account for 26 of 35 products. Universal petrol filters, diesel primer parts, gasket paper, a choke cable and three vehicle-oriented oil-filler caps form a smaller mechanical service group.

AutoMotoPart currently lists 35 High Tech Parts items. The largest High Tech Parts groups are 35 maintenance entries. High Tech Parts totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact High Tech Parts listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.

What the High Tech Parts page actually covers

Product group in this rangeCurrent entriesSelection focus
Maintenance35Match 12V flasher terminal codes, pin layout, lamp load, warning function and vehicle application.

Relays dominate numerically: ten titles mention four pins, nine mention five, eight identify flashers and six use micro. Those counts conceal several circuit diagrams and current ratings. The nine non-relay products cross fuel, sealing, control-cable and oil-fill functions, so High Tech Parts should be used as a range filter rather than evidence that items share an installation method.

Build a reliable shortlist

Begin by diagnosing the system and drawing the interface. For a relay, that means coil and contact circuit; for a filter or primer, flow and pressure; for an oil cap, neck and sealing geometry. Compare current technical information with the component removed only after confirming the old component was correct.

CheckWhy it mattersUseful evidence
System voltageA relay coil and connected equipment are designed around a defined supplyMeasured circuit and complete 12V product specification
Terminal diagramPin count does not reveal which terminal is coil, feed, output or changeoverNumbered schematic and socket wiring, not physical position alone
LoadLamp inrush, motors and heaters can exceed nominal operating currentCircuit current, switching duty, fuse and relay contact rating
SuppressionA diode is polarity-sensitive and a resistor changes coil transients differentlyExact relay marking and control-module requirements
Mechanical interfaceMicro, mini, bracket and socket layouts can differ at the same pin countCase dimensions, keying, terminal size and retention
Non-electrical functionFuel, gasket, cable and cap parts depend on material and geometrySystem procedure, dimensions, fluid compatibility and known-correct reference

Do not bridge socket terminals or uprate a fuse to test a suspected relay. Use an appropriate fused test method and wiring information. If the original relay overheated, identify excessive current, resistance or poor socket tension before fitting another part.

Four- and five-pin relays: read the circuit

A common four-pin relay may use terminals 85 and 86 for the coil, 30 for supply and 87 for a normally open output, but the exact diagram on the part controls. Five-pin designs can add a normally closed 87a contact, a second output or another arrangement. High Tech Parts titles include changeover, on/on, twin-output and open designs, so counting blades cannot establish function.

Check coil resistance and circuit command by the vehicle procedure, and assess voltage drop across the load contacts while operating. A relay that clicks may still have burned contacts; a relay that remains silent may lack supply, earth or command. Swap testing is appropriate only when every electrical and mechanical specification is confirmed identical and the donor circuit can be protected.

Flasher relays, lamp load and terminal designations

Two-, three- and four-pin flasher units can use different terminal conventions and load sensing. Sample evidence includes L and X pins as well as 49, 49a and 31 designations, with lamp loads expressed as combinations of 21W and 5W. Match the actual indicator and hazard system, including trailer monitoring where fitted. Do not transfer terminal meaning from another unit by socket position.

A fast or absent flash can indicate a failed lamp, poor earth, wiring resistance, incompatible LED conversion or an incorrect flasher, not necessarily a defective relay. Inspect both sides and hazard operation. Electronic vehicles may control indicators through a body module rather than a replaceable conventional flasher, so confirm that the vehicle actually uses the component represented.

Sockets, fuses, wiring and fault prevention

Remove power before withdrawing a relay where the procedure requires it and inspect the socket for heat, green corrosion, spread terminals and pushed-back contacts. A loose female terminal raises resistance and heat even when the new relay rating is adequate. Repair terminals with the supported parts and crimping method rather than squeezing a socket blindly or packing it with foil.

Current rating is not permission to replace circuit protection. The fuse protects wiring and must remain at the specified value. Route added relay wiring with suitable conductor size, insulation, terminals, grommets and mechanical protection, and place the relay away from water and heat unless its enclosure is rated for that location. Diode-suppressed coils must be connected with correct polarity.

Fuel filters, primer pumps and leak control

The two universal petrol filters differ by size, which is not sufficient to prove flow or pressure suitability. Confirm hose bore, barb engagement, body material, flow direction and whether the filter belongs on suction or pressure side. Keep it away from exhaust heat, sharp edges and movement, and secure hoses with the specified connection. Plastic inline filters may be prohibited in some locations.

A diesel primer hand pump or primer head must match fuel-flow direction, hose or filter connections, non-return valves and system pressure. Air ingress at a primer can mimic fuel starvation. Work with ventilation and ignition control, collect fuel, renew seals and prime only by the approved sequence. Check leaks under operating conditions and dispose of contaminated absorbent safely.

Gasket paper, choke cables and oil-filler caps

Gasket paper in a stated 1/64-inch thickness can be cut for joints that are designed to use that material. Trace from a verified pattern, cut clean bolt and fluid holes, and keep fragments from the system. Do not add paper where the joint uses formed rubber, metal, liquid sealant or a controlled clearance. Extra thickness can alter end float, compression or component alignment.

A twist-lock choke cable needs outer length, inner travel, end fittings and a route that avoids heat and tight bends. Confirm full open and closed movement at the carburettor without straining the control. Oil-filler caps must latch or thread correctly and seal the intended engine; venting can form part of crankcase operation. A cap that looks suitable for a marque may differ by engine family and neck design.

From identification to a checked result

StageGood practice for this rangeMistake to avoid
DiagnoseIdentify whether the fault is electrical, fuel, sealing, cable or cap relatedReplacing the nearest small part from the symptom alone
SpecifyRecord diagram, rating, dimensions, material, flow or mechanical travelChoosing a relay by pin count or filter by overall size
PrepareIsolate power or ignition, obtain circuit data and control fuel spillsBridging sockets or opening fuel lines beside ignition sources
InstallUse correct terminals, routing, seals, fuse and connection methodForcing a case, reversing a diode coil or overtightening a cap
VerifyTest under operating load for function, voltage drop, leaks and movementAssuming a click, dry static joint or matching appearance proves success

Record the exact High Tech Parts reference and, for relays, the terminal diagram, suppression and load. For mechanical items, note dimensions, flow direction or cable travel. Keeping those facts prevents an unmarked spare from being used later solely because it has the same shape.

Reading real High Tech Parts references

The High Tech Parts names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal High Tech Parts recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within High Tech Parts, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.

Example listingWhat to verify beyond the name
Flasher Relay - 12V - 2-PinVoltage, terminal diagram, contact function, current, suppression and housing
Flasher Relay - 12V - 3-PinFlasher pin codes, lamp load, hazard function and vehicle circuit
Flasher Relay - 12V - 4-PinFuel type, hose size, pressure, flow direction, primer and leak test
Flasher Relay - 12V - 3-PinGasket material and thickness, cable travel, or oil-cap neck and seal
Relay - 12V - 30A - 4-Pin - On/OffVoltage, terminal diagram, contact function, current, suppression and housing
Micro Relay - 12V - 4-PinFlasher pin codes, lamp load, hazard function and vehicle circuit
Mini Relay - 12V - 4-PinFuel type, hose size, pressure, flow direction, primer and leak test
Flasher Relay - 12V - 2-PinGasket material and thickness, cable travel, or oil-cap neck and seal

The examples contain relays with similar two- to five-pin descriptions but materially different circuit functions, followed by unrelated fuel, gasket, cable and cap parts. Keep the full High Tech Parts title and technical details; the range name alone does not establish interchangeability.

Common errors around High Tech Parts products

  • Selecting a relay by pin count and case size without its schematic.
  • Installing a diode-suppressed relay with reversed coil polarity.
  • Using a higher-rated fuse because a replacement relay can carry more current.
  • Ignoring a heat-damaged or loose socket when replacing the relay.
  • Choosing a flasher without matching terminal codes and lamp load.
  • Fitting a universal fuel filter without pressure, flow and hose checks.
  • Cutting gasket paper for a joint designed for another sealing method.
  • Using an oil cap that closes but has the wrong seal or venting arrangement.

High Tech Parts questions and answers

Q: Is High Tech Parts a verified manufacturer identity?

A: It is treated here as a practical product-range label because a dependable standalone manufacturer history has not been established.

Q: What products dominate the range?

A: Twelve-volt flasher, multifunction, mini and micro relays account for 26 of the 35 entries.

Q: Are all four-pin relays interchangeable?

A: No. Coil, contact diagram, rating, suppression, terminal size and housing must all agree.

Q: What is a changeover relay?

A: It switches a common contact between normally closed and normally open outputs, but the exact terminal diagram must be checked.

Q: Why does a relay diode matter?

A: A diode suppresses coil voltage but makes polarity important; reversed connection can cause a fault.

Q: Can I fit a higher-current relay?

A: Only if every electrical and mechanical specification remains correct; do not change the circuit fuse from relay rating alone.

Q: Why are flasher lamp watts listed?

A: The flasher may rely on a defined lamp load for correct rate and failure indication.

Q: Can a petrol filter be chosen by large or small size?

A: No. Match fuel, hose, flow direction, pressure, material and mounting position.

Q: What can cause air after fitting a diesel primer?

A: Reversed flow, loose connections, damaged seals, valve faults or unsuitable hose can admit air.

Q: Can gasket paper replace any gasket?

A: No. Use the stated material and thickness only where the joint repair method permits a cut paper gasket.

Q: How is a choke cable selected?

A: Match outer length, inner travel, ends, locking action, route and full carburettor movement.

Q: What makes an oil cap correct?

A: Neck geometry, retention, seal, venting and exact engine application must agree, not just colour or vehicle make.
