Eaton BP/552-RP 2-terminal Flasher 12 Volt

Product Description

The EATON BP/552-RP is a 2-terminal electronic flasher designed for 12-volt DC electrical systems. It controls directional and hazard signal lights in automotive and light-duty vehicle applications, cycling the circuit to produce the characteristic flash pattern required for turn signals and emergency flashers. Rated at 12.8 amps, this flasher operates on variable load, meaning it functions correctly across a range of bulb counts without requiring a fixed-resistance load to maintain proper flash rate. DOT approval confirms it meets federal requirements for signal lighting components.

This flasher is suited for 12-volt automotive and light-duty vehicle electrical systems where directional or hazard signal functionality is needed. It supports 2 to 6 bulbs per circuit, making it appropriate for standard passenger vehicles, light trucks, and similar applications. Technicians replacing failed or intermittent flasher units in 12-volt systems will find this a direct service replacement. Installation requires access to the vehicle flasher socket or inline harness connector.

Key Features

• DOT approved for directional and hazard signal light circuits
• Variable load operation handles 2 to 6 bulbs without flash rate deviation
• 12.8-amp rating supports standard incandescent bulb loads
• 2-terminal design for straightforward socket or harness installation
• Rated for 12-volt DC systems

Compatibility

Designed as a service replacement flasher for 12-volt automotive and light-duty vehicle directional and hazard signal circuits accepting a 2-terminal flasher unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an automotive or fleet electrician. Disconnect vehicle power or remove the relevant fuse before servicing the flasher circuit. Ensure the replacement flasher terminals seat fully in the socket or harness connector before restoring power. Verify post-installation flash rate on both directional and hazard functions before returning the vehicle to service.
