Cole Hersee Intermittent Solenoid Switch 24V 120A Normally Open 24008BX

The Cole Hersee intermittent solenoid switch, part no. 24008BX, is a 24V unit rated at 120A. It is a normally open, one-circuit solenoid intended for off/on switching applications where an intermittent duty solenoid arrangement is required.

It uses copper contacts and copper stud terminals with a 5/16-24 thread, along with insulated coil terminals at 10-32. The housing is plated steel, and nuts and washers are included for installation.

This is sold as a single each unit and carries a one year warranty. The electrical rating includes 120A make and 65A break, so it is important to match the duty and circuit requirements to the application before ordering.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, confirm that the vehicle or equipment system is 24V and that the application calls for a normally open intermittent solenoid switch with one circuit. The part number 24008BX is the most reliable reference when checking against an existing unit or service listing.

The current ratings matter. This solenoid is listed at 120A make and 65A break, so it should be matched to a circuit that suits those electrical demands rather than assuming any 24V solenoid will do the same job.

Check the terminal style and thread before purchase. The unit has copper stud terminals with a 5/16-24 thread and insulated coil terminals at 10-32, so physical compatibility depends on the mounting and wiring arrangement already in place.

The included plated steel housing, nuts and washers can help with installation, but you still need to verify space, terminal clearance and connection type. If you are replacing an existing solenoid, compare the old part number, terminal layout and duty type carefully.

If the application specification is unclear, compare the existing switch markings, wiring setup and any service information available on the machine or vehicle. Matching the part number and electrical specification is the safest way to avoid ordering the wrong solenoid.

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 24008BX 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 Intermittent Solenoid 24V 120A Normally Open. Part number 24008BX should be checked first. Listed voltage is 24. Listed output rating is 120. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number 24008BX, 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 24 and output 120 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.

Compatibility note: Confirm fitment by matching part number 24008BX, 24V system requirements, normally open action, 1 circuit layout, and terminal/thread details before purchase. If the existing unit differs in rating or connection style, do not assume interchangeability.
