BEP Marine 65A PVC Coated Continuous Duty Solenoid

The BEP Marine PVC-Coated Continuous Duty Solenoid switches a 12V load remotely at 65A continuous and 100A for ten seconds, equivalent to Cole Hersee 24117-01.

A solenoid lets a small dash switch control a large load without the load current ever reaching the dash. That keeps heavy cable in the engine or battery space where it belongs, instead of running a pair of thick conductors up to the helm and back. Less copper, less voltage drop, and no high-current connection behind a panel.

Continuous duty is the specification to check. A continuous-duty solenoid stays energized indefinitely, where an intermittent-duty one is built to close briefly and will overheat if left on. Using the wrong type is a common mistake and the failure is a burnt coil rather than an obvious fault.

Sixty-five amps continuous with 100A for short intermittent periods covers most remotely switched DC equipment aboard. A PVC-coated steel case protects the body in exposed positions, copper signal and contact terminals make the connections, and integrated mounting holes fix it near the load or power source.
