20417

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 20417 solenoid rated for?
A: The 20417 is a heavy-duty 12VDC solenoid rated for 600A intermittent duty. It is designed specifically for power interrupt operation in electric winch truck applications. This high current rating makes it suitable for main contactor or brake control circuits in industrial lift trucks.

Q: Can I use the 20417 solenoid in place of a lighter-duty solenoid?
A: The 20417 is rated for 600A intermittent duty at 12VDC. It is designed for high-current power interrupt circuits in winch trucks. Do not substitute it for lower-rated solenoids in lift or drive circuits without verifying your equipment schematic. Always match the solenoid coil voltage (12VDC) to your trucks electrical system.

Q: What voltage does the 20417 solenoid require?
A: The 20417 solenoid operates on 12VDC. This is the standard voltage for heavy-duty truck winch and power interrupt circuits. Do not apply 24VDC or 48VDC to this solenoid; it will damage the coil.

Q: Is the 20417 a replacement for older solenoids on my electric winch truck?
A: The 20417 is designed for power interrupt operation on electric winch trucks. No cross-reference or supersession part numbers have been identified for this solenoid. Verify your trucks electrical schematic and current solenoid specifications before ordering to confirm the 20417 matches your equipment requirements.

Q: What does intermittent duty rating mean for the 20417?
A: Intermittent duty at 600A means the 20417 solenoid can handle 600 amperes of current for short periods with cooling time between cycles. This is typical for winch truck power interrupt solenoids that engage and disengage the winch motor. Do not run this solenoid continuously at 600A without cooling intervals; follow your equipment manufacturer guidelines for duty cycle.
