Insulated Continuous Solenoid Switch - DPST, 12V 85A
Heavy-Duty 12V DPST Solenoid Switch for Motor Controls and Electric Tasks
This 12-volt insulated continuous solenoid switch is engineered for heavy-duty applications, delivering reliable and efficient performance. With a double pole single throw (DPST) actuation style, it is ideal for motor on-off controls, winches, snow plows, and other demanding electric motor tasks. The insulated design enhances safety by electrically isolating the housing, making it suitable for various environments.
Operating as a current-carrying coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, the solenoid generates a magnetic field when energized, producing high current and force. This allows it to provide a larger output with a low input, making it more robust than standard relays. Rated at 85 amps and 12V DC, this solenoid switch is built to handle significant electrical loads with durability and precision.
- Solenoids are a current carrying coil of wire wrapped around an iron core that when energized creates a magnetic field which produces a high current and force.
- Similar to a relay, but unlike regular relays solenoids are used for heavy-duty applications like a motor on-off control.
- Solenoids are advantageous because they allow for a low input while generating a larger output, as in the case of a starter solenoid.
- Rated for 12V DC.
