Blue Sea Systems 9012 L-Series Solenoid Switch 12/24V DC 250A

The Blue Sea Systems L-Series Solenoid Switch is engineered to control high amperage switching tasks without the need to run heavy gauge cable throughout your vessel. This marine-grade solenoid eliminates the complexity and expense of routing large cables by allowing you to activate high-current circuits remotely using low amperage wire.

Key Features:

• Switches loads up to 450A continuous (cable size dependent) with 1000A cranking capacity
• Hermetically sealed, vaporproof contacts designed for harsh marine environments
• Can be mounted anywhere on board including engine compartments (ignition protected)
• Remote activation using control wire as small as 20 AWG dramatically reduces installation complexity
• Compatible with both 12V and 24V DC systems
• Integrated coil design minimizes heating and current draw during operation
• Compact footprint allows installation close to circuits being switched
• 5/16" terminal studs accommodate cable sizes up to 2/0 AWG
• Normally open coil function
• Meets CE, SAE J1171 marine, UL 508, and IP67 standards

Technical Specifications:

• Nominal Voltage: 12V or 24V DC
• Input Voltage Range: 9V-36V DC
• Continuous Rating: 250A-450A (dependent on cable gauge)
• Intermittent Rating: 275A-600A
• Cranking Rating (30 seconds): 1000A DC with 1/0 AWG cable
• Operating Current: 6A while changing state
• Control Circuit: 20 AWG tinned wire minimum
• Terminal Stud Size: 5/16"

Perfect for engine starting circuits, battery switching, windlass control, or any high-amperage marine application requiring remote switching capability. Blue Sea Systems backs this solenoid with a lifetime warranty.
