Technical Overview and Application Engineering
The kit includes the Trombetta 114-1211-020-02, a heavy-duty DC contactor from the "Bear" Series, engineered for high-current management in 12V mobile electrical systems. Unlike standard copper-contact solenoids (such as the 114-1211-010), this unit features Silver Alloy contact pads. Silver Alloy provides significantly higher conductivity and resistance to arcing, pitting, and contact welding, making it the required specification for inductive loads like hydraulic motors and critical battery isolation circuits. Rated for 100% Continuous Duty, this solenoid is designed to remain energized indefinitely without overheating, a requirement for RV battery charging systems (isolators) and master power relays. The sealed, high-impact plastic housing offers superior protection against moisture, road salts, and vibration compared to unsealed metal-canister solenoids, making it suitable for exterior chassis mounting on snow plows and lift gates.
