At MurCal, we’re excited to spotlight EGIS Mobile Electric as our Brand of the Month for January 2026, with a special focus this week on their standout Remote Sealed Relay Switches (Single 160A / Dual 80A Outputs).

These innovative switches are popular for their rugged design that tackles the toughest power management challenges in mobile environments, making them a go-to for professionals who can’t afford downtime. 

Company Origins

Founded in 2011 in Bellingham, Washington, EGIS Mobile Electric quickly established itself as a leader in reliable 12V/24V power solutions for vehicles, marine applications, and beyond, drawing on decades of industry expertise to create products built for real-world abuse. 

Product Line Evolution

The Remote Sealed Relay line debuted around 2020 as part of their XD Series evolution, responding to demands for compact, fully sealed high-amp switching that outperforms traditional solenoids in wet, vibrating conditions. These relays deliver impressive power with IP67/IP6K9K sealing that keeps out water, dust, and road grime, allowing mounting almost anywhere without fear of failure – from engine bays to boat bilges. 

Power Capabilities

The single 160A modelcranks out continuous power for heavy-duty devices like winches or starters (up to 1500A surge), while the dual 80A version splits loads smartly for accessories such as lights, pumps, or inverters, all with stainless steel M10 terminals that resist corrosion and a torque rating of 120 in-lbs for rock-solid connections. 

Key Features and Programmability

Programmability is achieved through simple dip switches, letting you configure each relay as a standard remote switch, Voltage Sensitive Relay (VSR/ACR), or even mechanical-only contactor with optional lock-on/off knobs for secure maintenance. Ultra-low standby draw (just 1.3mA) means no dead batteries overnight, and built-in thermal overload protection plus optional kill switches add layers of safety without extra components. Local and remote LED indicators make status checks instant, while tinned control wires and sealed plugs simplify plug-and-play installs that cut wiring time dramatically.

Ideal Users and Reliability

Fleet upfitters, marine mechanics, work truck builders, RV customizers, and off-road enthusiasts turn to these relays when traditional switches falter under moisture, vibration, or high demands, often replacing bulky Blue Sea ML-series solenoids with a more compact, efficient drop-in solution. They choose EGIS because downtime from failed relays can cost hours or days – these deliver 500A continuous per relay (up to 1500A cranking), a million-cycle mechanical life, and 90-95% less off-state power draw than competitors, extending battery life on long hauls or offshore trips. 

Versatile Applications and Installs

Installs happen in minutes anywhere from dusty job sites to salty marinas, whether it’s a fresh build, solenoid swap during routine maintenance, or emergency fix after a power glitch. With auto-ranging 8-36V operation, overvoltage protection (17V/34V), and compatibility with DTM/ATM connectors, they’re versatile for 12V trucks, 24V ag equipment, or marine dual-bank setups, ensuring pros stay powered up without the hassle.
