Normally Open Switch Starter Solenoid
Normally Closed Switch
This switch is normally open. There is contact only when
the plunger is depressed (Fig. 1422).
A starter is a form of an electrically operated switch.
Positioning the solenoid closer to the battery and starter,
short battery cables can be utilized to increase effi ciency
(Fig. 1424).
At rest there should be no continuity between the two
larger posts. Connect a 12 volt battery to the two smaller
posts and the solenoid should engage. There should be
continuity between the large posts as long at the voltage
is present.
Maximum torque for the smaller posts is 20 in/lb. (2.26
Nm); larger posts is 25 in/lb. (2.82 Nm).
Note: Exceeding the maximum torque can pull the
terminals from the solenoid.
