This is the Bueler BU509TD time delay OFF relay. A 12 volt, 20/30 amp SPDT (single pole, dual throw) relay with a built-in adjustable timer.
Delay OFF means the circuit stays live for a set period after the trigger disappears, adjustable from 2 seconds up to 3 minutes. Useful for interior lights, cooling fans, parking sensors and anything that should linger rather than cut out instantly.
This is the third generation, redesigned around what installers asked for: a top-access adjuster you can reach once it's mounted, a waterproof body, and a 340 degree potentiometer for finer control.
The 1 volt trigger is the interesting part. At a 1 volt (1k ohm) threshold it will trigger from sources a normal relay ignores, including detecting an LED turning on, and it's a common fix for amplifier pop.

Need the circuit to switch on late rather than off late? That's the BU510TD delay ON.
