SOLENOID (P/N a177-1) - New Surplus

The a177-1 is an electromagnetic solenoid contactor for aircraft electrical systems. This component remotely switches high-current circuits, eliminating the need for long cockpit cable runs to the starter motor or other high-load devices. When energized by a low-current control signal, the solenoid engages an internal contact mechanism to connect battery power to the engine starter or auxiliary systems.

Commonly installed in general aviation and corporate aircraft electrical systems. Wire and install per the aircraft maintenance manual and FAA AC 43.13-1B electrical guidance.
