Buyers Products Company 1306300 12V Intermittent Solenoid

12 V Intermittent Solenoid for Automotive

The Buyers Products Company 1306300 is a 12 volt intermittent-duty solenoid housed in a transparent plastic case. It is designed for automotive electrical circuits that require periodic switching rather than continuous energisation. Installers and fleet technicians use it to control auxiliary loads such as liftgates, spreaders or auxiliary lighting where the coil is only powered for short cycles.

Replaces Worn or Failed Factory Solenoids

This unit serves as a direct replacement when an original intermittent solenoid sticks, chatters or loses pull-in force after extended service. The jump is worth it when the existing valve shows voltage drop across the contacts or the coil overheats during normal duty cycles. It is not suited for applications that demand continuous-duty operation or for circuits that require a latching mechanism instead of momentary actuation.

Handles Standard 12 V Auxiliary Loads Within

The solenoid comfortably manages typical 12 V auxiliary circuits such as hydraulic pump motors or lighting relays that operate in short bursts. It runs out of headroom if the coil is energised beyond the intermittent duty cycle, leading to excessive heat and premature failure. Buyers needing continuous-duty switching or higher voltage ratings must select a different component.
