Cole Hersee Continuous Duty Solenoid 12V 100A Normally Open 24612-10BX

The Cole Hersee 24612-10BX is a continuous duty solenoid switch rated at 12V and 100A continuous, with 400A inrush and 100A make and break capacity. It is a normally open, SPST off/on solenoid with silver alloy contacts, suited to applications that need a robust electrical switching device rather than a momentary relay.

This unit uses an insulated coil terminal 10-32" and 4 stud copper stud terminals with a 5/16-24" thread. The housing is glass black nylon with an F bracket, and plated steel nuts and washers are included for installation. Overall dimensions are listed as H 65 x D 47 x W 76mm, which is useful when checking mounting space before purchase.

As a single-circuit solenoid switch, it is identified for auto electrical accessory use and carries a one year warranty. If you are replacing an existing solenoid, matching the part number 24612-10BX and confirming the 12V system requirement are the most reliable checks before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm the existing unit is a 12V continuous duty solenoid and that the application suits a normally open SPST off/on switch. The 24612-10BX is rated for 100A continuous service, with 400A inrush, so it should be matched to the electrical load and duty cycle expected in the vehicle or equipment.

Check the mounting arrangement carefully. This solenoid has an F bracket, 8mm x 15mm mounting holes, and 56mm centre-to-centre spacing, with overall dimensions of 65 x 47 x 76mm. Those measurements matter if the replacement must fit an existing bracket or enclosure with limited clearance.

If you are replacing a failed solenoid, the safest approach is to compare the original part number, voltage, terminal arrangement, and mounting dimensions side by side. That reduces the risk of ordering a solenoid that is electrically suitable but physically different, especially where the wiring or bracket pattern is fixed.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 24612-10BX helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Cole Hersee Continuous Duty Solenoid 12V 100A Normally Open. Part number 24612-10BX should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 100. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number 24612-10BX, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a solenoid switch in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 100 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Where no verified application list is available, the part number, mounting details, connector style, and published specifications should be used as the primary selection criteria.

In the absence of a verified fitment list, the safest approach is to compare the removed unit directly with the listed product details. That includes checking the housing style, pulley layout, regulator arrangement, and any visible identification numbers before supply is approved.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching the part number 24612-10BX, the 12V system requirement, the normally open SPST operation, terminal thread sizes, and the 65 x 47 x 76mm housing dimensions against the vehicle or equipment already fitted.
