Pierce Arrow Solenoid Specs

[Darasick]

I've seen quite a few post about these solenoids, so it peeked my interest. I've been talking to those guys (very nice by the way, Jeff is the owner and most knowledgeable), specifically asking about the duty cycle of that solenoid. This is what they said...

5.3.1 Under working condition within electric current 450A, switch on one pole pass through for 5 seconds, then switch to the opposite pole pass 5 seconds, that being considered as one test circle, proceed the test except paused when temperature reach to 150℃. The test could be passed if test circles were more than 1000 times without failure.
5.3.2 Under working condition within electric current 450A, switch on one pole pass through for one minute, then switch to the opposite pole pass through one minute, that being considered as one test circle, proceed the test 10 circles. The test could be passed if tested relay was no failure.
5.3.3 Under working condition condition within electric current 450A, switch on one pole pass though for 2 minutes then paused 4 minutes, then switch to the opposite pole pass though 2 minutes. The test could be passed if tested relay was no failure.

An M12000 pulls 440 amps at full capacity and this solenoid is capable of 2 minute pulls at 450 amps. That's a long constant pull at full capacity, so I think they will be well worth the money. I just got two in today (I'm running dual winches), but haven't had a chance to try them out. They are less than half the price of an Albright, so carrying a spare is actually practical. Anyone who has been running them, feel free to post what you think about them and I'll post my opinion when I get a chance to test them out.

And attached is a wiring diagram. The diagram is a variation of in cab controls while using this type of solenoid.

Very cool, I'll buy one when I install a winch on the back of my truck.

Thanks for the wiring diagram; been wanting to buy a contactor to replace the solenoids on my 8274 but wasn't sure how to wire it.

The base price is $75 plus tax if you live in TX,and shipping. My total price was $96. You can buy the albright sold by Superwinch(90-14452) at Summit Racing for $96.99 with no tax and free shipping right now. Not trying to knock the Pierce model, just saying the brand name is the same price for most people.

So Superwinch is distributing Albright? Nothing on Summit's or Superwinch's websites indicated that. I haven't checked in a while, but last time I did, I couldn't find anyone in the US that distributed the Albright Solenoids.

It is.

As has been said above, Summit Racing carries them in the U.S. There may be others, but Summit has good prices.
