A solenoid switch is an electrical switch frequently employed when a low current switch is utilized to activate a high current circuit, such as a starter motor circuit. A solenoid switch links the starter's driving pinion when the ignition key is in the start position. When energized, solenoids carry a current that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field has a high force and current in electrical applications and vehicles to power electronics a versatile option for regulating power flow, mechanical interlocks, and electromagnetic switches. Key Features: It triggers a long-lasting switch that connects the vehicle's battery to the starter motor. This switch links the starter's driving pinion once the ignition key is positioned. Small electrical control signals are utilized to activate a solenoid switch, which regulates high-power circuits. It also enables the confinement of a high-power switching device to a remote location.
