Cole Hersee Continuous Duty Solenoid 12V 85A Normally Open Part No. M24117BX

The Cole Hersee Continuous Duty Solenoid is a 12V, 85A solenoid switch with a normally open, single-circuit SPST arrangement. It is identified by part number M24117BX and is supplied as each, which makes it suitable where a direct replacement needs to match the electrical rating and terminal style already in use.

The solenoid is described as ignition protected and has a PVC dipped housing, with nuts and washers included. It is a continuous duty item, so the key points to confirm are 12V system compatibility, the 85A power rating, and the normally open action before installation.

Application and Buying Notes

When replacing a solenoid, the most important checks are voltage, duty type, switching action, and terminal configuration. This unit is 12V, continuous duty, and normally open, so it suits applications that are designed for that exact combination rather than a momentary or normally closed setup.

The electrical connections are part of the fitment check as well. The main studs are copper with a 5/16 - 24 thread, and the coil terminals are insulated 10-32. If your existing leads, lugs, or mounting hardware are set up differently, the part may not be a straightforward swap even if the electrical rating appears close.

The 85A rating should be treated as a working guide for the circuit it is intended to control, not as a reason to substitute it into a higher-load application. Matching or exceeding a solenoid’s current capacity in a controlled way is important, and the copper contacts and insulated return are part of that specification.

The PVC dipped housing and ignition-protected design are useful installation details, but they do not replace the need to confirm the part number and the application details. If the original unit is marked M24117BX or matches the same 12V, 85A, normally open, single-circuit layout, that is the strongest starting point for verification.

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 M24117BX 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 85A Normally Open. Part number M24117BX should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 85. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number M24117BX, 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 85 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 part number M24117BX, 12V system voltage, 85A rating, normally open operation, one-circuit SPST layout, and the 5/16 - 24 main stud thread with 10-32 insulated coil terminals before purchase.
