Unlike a remote battery switch, the 9012 solenoid has no manual control lever of its own; it is designed to be actuated electrically as part of a larger switching setup, making it a common choice for engine start circuits, battery isolation, and other high-current applications where a compact, panel-mountable switching device is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 9012 is ignition protected, meeting the safety standards required for use in engine compartments and other areas where spark-producing devices must be certified against igniting surrounding fuel vapors. It operates as a 1-way, normally open, electromechanical on-off switch with two positions and a crimp connector type for wiring. The housing is constructed of plastic with stainless steel contact material, and the switch carries an IP54 rating for protection against dust and splashing water, suiting it to the marine environment. Its compact panel-mount design and moderate current draw make it easy to integrate into existing 12-24V DC electrical panels aboard boats and other vessels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solenoid Switch 250A 12-24V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boat Battery Switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-24 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ignition Protected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e ON-OFF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.13 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normally Open\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContact Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electromechanical On-off Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel Mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10800 watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 x 4 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 632085090128\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Blue Sea Systems 9012 solenoid switch used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 9012 is a 12-24V L-Series solenoid switch used to electronically switch a circuit on and off, typically as part of a battery isolation or engine start circuit where a manual disconnect already exists elsewhere in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 9012 solenoid switch ignition protected?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Blue Sea Systems 9012 is ignition protected, meaning it is rated for safe use in engine compartments and other areas where spark-producing electrical devices must be certified against igniting fuel vapors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat voltage does the 9012 solenoid switch operate at?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 9012 operates at 12-24 Volts DC, making it compatible with both standard 12V and 24V marine electrical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between a solenoid and a remote battery switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e A solenoid, like the Blue Sea Systems 9012, is an electronic switch with no manual control, intended for circuits where a manual battery disconnect is already provided elsewhere.
