Waytek Inc, a distributor of electrical wiring supplies, recently added solenoids to its product line.

Solenoids remotely switch high electrical current when a much lower current is applied to its electromagnet coil. They can be used in trucks; buses; trailers; and agricultural, recreational, marine, and construction equipment. Solenoids are similar to relays, but they can be used for heavier-duty applications, such as starter motors.

Waytek offers the new solenoids in single-pole, single-throw (SPST), continuous or intermittent, and grounded or insulated configurations, with 12- or 24-volt DC ratings. Solenoids with weather- and dirt-resistant plasticized steel casings are also available.
