Detailed description

The 12V 100A solenoid from BEP is a robust switching component designed for engine starting applications in marine environments. With a capacity of 100 amperes in intermittent duty, it ensures reliable transfer of peak currents required to activate the starter motor. Its copper contact terminals with 5/16"-24 pitch and signal terminals with #10/32 pitch guarantee solid electrical connections, meeting the requirements of professional marine installations.

Performance and reliability for engine starting

This BEP solenoid stands out for its ability to handle peak currents (make rating) of 750 amperes, essential for engine cranking. Unlike standard relays with lower capacity, the 12V 100A solenoid is specifically sized for an intermittent duty cycle of 10 seconds on and 20 minutes off, making it perfectly suited for engine starting cycles. This design prevents overheating and premature failures that can occur with less specialized components such as generic battery relays. It is directly compatible with the Cole Hersee M-200 standard, facilitating its integration as a replacement or upgrade.

Integration and installation

The 12V 100A solenoid is supplied with a mounting bracket whose mounting holes are sized at 5/16" x 19/32" with a center-to-center distance of 2-13/64". This standardization allows quick replacement in most marine electrical panels. Its steel or PVC housing (depending on version) provides protection suited to the humid environment of engine compartments. It is compatible with all BEP battery management systems, including battery switch ranges and distribution panels.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« A reliable standard for engine starting »

The BEP 12V 100A solenoid is a trusted component for engine starting installations. Its ability to handle 750 amperes peak makes it particularly suitable for marine engines, even older or high-displacement models. The 5/16"-24 thread pitch on the contact terminals is a standard that simplifies wiring with heavy-duty terminals. I recommend checking the duty cycle (10s ON / 20min OFF) to avoid any risk of overheating during prolonged use. This is a reliable spare part for replacing a Cole Hersee M-200.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the primary function of the SOLENOID-12VOLT 100AMP solenoid?

The primary function of this solenoid is to switch high currents, required to activate a starter motor. It allows electrical current to pass to the starter to crank the engine.

Is this solenoid designed for marine use?

Yes, the SOLENOID-12VOLT 100AMP from BEP is specifically designed for 12V DC marine electrical systems.

What is the operating voltage of this solenoid?

This solenoid is designed to operate with 12V DC electrical systems.

What is the nominal ampere rating of this solenoid?

It has a nominal capacity of 100 amperes, making it suitable for handling engine starting currents.

What are the specifications of the connection terminals' threads?

The connection terminals of this solenoid are threaded 5/16"-24, ensuring a robust and secure electrical connection.

Why is this solenoid preferred for engine starting compared to a standard relay?

Unlike standard relays with lower capacity, the SOLENOID-12VOLT 100AMP is specifically sized to handle the significant transient current spikes required when starting an engine, thus providing increased reliability for this application.

Can this solenoid be used with engines requiring more than 100 amperes at startup?

No, this solenoid is rated for a nominal capacity of 100 amperes. Using it with currents above this value may compromise its operation or damage the product.

How to ensure a secure electrical connection during installation?

To ensure a robust and secure electrical connection, it is essential to use terminals suited to the 5/16"-24 thread of the terminals and to tighten all connections properly.

Is this product from the BEP brand?

Yes, this solenoid is a BEP product.

What is the SKU code for this solenoid?

The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) code for this product is 1002206.

Are there any special precautions to take for installation in a marine environment?

In a marine environment, it is crucial to ensure robust and secure electrical connections to minimize the risks of corrosion and failure due to vibrations and moisture. It is recommended to follow marine installation best practices.

Is this solenoid a component for battery management?

Yes, it is classified under the battery management category, specifically as a solenoid.

Can I use this solenoid for applications other than engine starting?

Although this solenoid is specifically designed for engine starting and high-current management, it is sized for this application. Its use for other functions must comply with its 12V DC voltage and maximum capacity of 100 amperes.

What are the advantages of a 5/16"-24 threaded connection for terminals?

The 5/16"-24 threaded studs provide a solid and reliable connection, essential for handling high currents and resisting vibrations and stresses in the marine environment.

Is this solenoid a relay?
