Does it matter? Will voltage jump from one to another if they're too close?

Going to use this diagram UNGN posted a while ago that uses 4 relays for my 4th gen f body fans. Both low (half) speed then both high at say 200*f temp.

Going to mount them all together and wondered how much if any they need spaced apart. Any input appreciated.

I've never had a problem with them being right next to each other. Sometimes you can get a backfeed spike off the coils, though it rarely causes an issue.

I have 5 relays mounted side by side...low beams, high beams, one for each fan and another for the fuel pump. You don't need social distancing when it comes to relays
