Description
The Blue Sea L Series Solenoid, Model 9012 250A 12/24V is ideal for switching DC subpanels, thrusters, windlass, inverters and other medium-amp DC loads. L-Series Solenoid Switches are remotely activated using a low amp switch and smaller gauge wire.
Features
- Continous duty, SPST - Normally Open
- Hermetically sealed contacts / vaporproof
- Ignition protected - safe for installation aboard gasoline powered boats
- 450 Amp Class
- Activated by a low amperage ON-OFF switch mounted anywhere
- Coil control circuit minimizes heating and amperage draw
- No external coil suppression required

Tech Tip- Solenoid Switch vs Remote Battery Switch
Solenoid Switch: An electronic switch with no manual control,
for circuits where a manual battery disconnect is offered
elsewhere in the circuit.
Remote Battery Switch: A solenoid or relay with a manual
control switch allowing for switching if control circuit
is compromised and for service lockout.
