SPM-HEP-4699 is the sealed plug in relay in a green case with a cream four pin base and a steel mounting tab. It is used on Hitachi EX120-5 and EX200-3 excavators. This aftermarket version has the same mounting and electrical connector as the original, so it plugs in and bolts on where the old one came off.
It replaces Hitachi 4251587 and Hitachi 4251588.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Function dead with good fuses
A starter, glow plug or fuel relay that has burned its contacts stops the circuit without blowing a fuse.
Clicking but no power
A relay that clicks but does not pass current has worn contacts and needs replacing.
Heat and vibration
Relays near the engine wear out from heat and vibration. Swap them during major services.
Fleet spares
Relays are cheap to keep on the van and quick to change on site.

Yes, it was made for the Hitachi EX100-3, and 3 more listed under compatible equipment. Check the old relay is marked 4251587 or one of the cross references, because makers change parts between serial ranges.
On the Hitachi EX100-3, there is no fixed interval. It is changed when it fails, and many fail from water in the plug or chafed wiring rather than wear.
A fault code for this circuit, readings that jump or stay fixed, or a part that does not respond with power at the plug.
Read the fault codes, then check the plug and wiring for corrosion or a broken wire. A wiring fault reads the same as a failed relay.
Usually. Clear them after fitting and run the machine, so old codes are not mistaken for a new fault.
No. It is an aftermarket relay made to replace the Hitachi 4251587. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
