This WINCHMAX 24V Winch Solenoid is designed for users of heavy-duty electric winches up to 20,000lb seeking enhanced safety and reliability. Its key benefit is improved performance over standard 'twin can' solenoids, featuring larger contact faces and faster contact closure for more dependable operation. A potential caveat for some users may be the spade terminal connections requiring specific wiring considerations compared to stud terminals. This model offers a fully waterproof IP67 sealed case, heavy-duty M8 primary connection posts, and a pre-fitted mounting bracket for straightforward integration.

This solenoid features larger contact faces and faster contact closure, leading to improved reliability and potentially longer lifespan by reducing arcing and heat buildup compared to older 'twin can' designs.
No, this solenoid is specifically designed for 24-volt electric winches and will not function correctly or safely with a 12V system.
This solenoid is fully compatible with all WINCHMAX wireless remote systems. Simply connect the receiver unit according to its instructions, and the solenoid will operate wirelessly.
An IP67 rating means the solenoid is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. This ensures durability in harsh environmental conditions.
It is not recommended. This solenoid is rated for winches up to 20,000lb, and exceeding this limit could lead to solenoid failure or unsafe operation.
The product comes with an industry-leading lifetime warranty on mechanical components and a 3-year warranty on electrical components.
Spade terminals are a type of electrical connector where a flat blade (the spade) inserts into a mating receptacle. In this solenoid, they are used for the control wiring connections on the side of the unit.
Verify all wiring connections are secure, especially the M8 primary posts and spade terminals. Check the voltage at the solenoid terminals to ensure it is receiving 24V. Confirm the control switch or remote is functioning correctly.
Ensure the motor brushes are in good condition and the motor itself is functional. Check that the motor leads are correctly connected to the solenoid's motor output terminals. A faulty motor or very high current draw could also be a cause.
Although rated IP67, ensure that the spade terminals are properly insulated and protected. If failure is suspected due to water ingress, it may require replacement. Inspect all other connections and seals.
The motor leads connected to the solenoid’s output terminals may be reversed. Swap the two wires going from the solenoid to the winch motor.
Setup: Mount the solenoid securely using the pre-fitted bracket within your winch control box. Ensure the M8 primary connection posts are tightened appropriately. Connect the motor leads, battery leads, and control switch wires according to the provided wiring diagram. The spade terminals should be connected to the control system wiring.
Compatibility: This solenoid is designed for 24-volt electric winches up to 20,000lb. It is fully compatible with all WINCHMAX wireless remote systems. Wiring diagrams are supplied to assist with integration into winches with or without wireless control systems.
Care: Due to its fully waterproof IP67 sealed case, the solenoid requires minimal physical maintenance. Periodically inspect wiring connections for corrosion or damage. Avoid exposing the spade terminals to excessive moisture if not properly protected by connectors or sealant. No user-serviceable parts are inside the sealed unit.
