MaySpare Duty Solenoid Relay Need Break 24063 24 Volt for Golf Carts,Winch, Marine Heavy Duty SPST Solenoid

works as listed,

For the price I can't complain much, even though one of them is already failing I mostly blame myself, and you can't find anything close to this price with prime shipping.I purchased four of these for my super old golf cart that uses resistor coils to regulate speed. Its actually a 36v golf cart, but its a junk old mad-max looking thing and I could only scrounge up two old dump truck batteries to run it, which is fine because I don't want to go super fast I just want to traverse my property and save some walking. It moves fine on 24v so thats what it gets. Now, by dropping the voltage I have surely up the amperage it draws to start and drive the cart. I have no idea if I am operating within the advertised limits of these solenoids, that is part of why I don't knock off a start for one failing. The other reason is because the one that is failing is the starting or "first gear" solenoid, the one that bears the most burden by far. Not only does this first solenoid take all the starting current from a stop, but it gets torture-cycled sometimes when you are trying to just inch the cart along or navigate slowly and precisely. The spring on my pedal is kinda weak, its easy to hit some bumps and have your foot bounce enough on it and all this adds up to a lot of rapid ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF clickity clickity clicking, and I'm pretty sure thats what killed this one solenoid.I'm thinking of maybe using two of these in parallel for the starting circuit, as well as maybe a cheap time-delay relay module that requires the pedal to be pressed for say one full second before engaging the solenoid, to help minimize short-cycling. I probably won't go that far, but I will need to be more deliberate with my foot to make sure I am not clickity-clickity-clicking these on and off rapidly so as not to shorten their life. At some point maybe I'll get a shunt and see if my current draw is within rated limits. I am using proper high amperage slow-blow fuses and a 300 amp breaker, though, so I probably am within the limits but its just hard to say.Recommend ordering a spare to keep on hand anyways. Its not fun when the first gear solenoid fails because sadly it sticks ON, so you let off the pedal and the cart keeps going. They also stick on if your ground is bad, so just wire up carefully and treat them nice and should be fine.

It may not last very long because I wasn't paying attention to the voltage I ordered the 24 volts by mistake. It still works on 12 and if it doesn't last long I have no one to blame but me.

continuous duty does bot mean 5 minutes...

This solenoid is being used to switch 24 vdc 140 amp power on/off to a tig torch. Activation of the solenoid (small terminals) is being done using a 400 ma 24vdc power supply with a foot switch. It works great and with the 100% duty cycle rating it stays cool. If you use this for the same thing, just be sure not to activate the coil with the high amperage, use a voltage converter or separate low amp power supply instead (as mentioned above).

Missing the nuts and lock washers shown in the pictures. Does not include any instructions and the poles are not labeled. No wiring diagram.

terminals are not an exact match to my Caterpillar D4 Dozer ignition switch but close enough. A great deal

Added this to a backhoe as a battery disconnect. I've seen other reviews on similar devices who did not like it. But this one has been on this machine now for several months and is working fine.
