Heavy Duty Switches and Electrical Products
For over forty years Cole Hersee has been manufacturing heavy duty battery master switches that have been installed as OE equipment by leading manufacturers of heavy duty vehicles.
Battery master switches shut down a vehicle’s electrical system by cutting off current from the battery. They are designed to help prevent tampering, theft, battery drain and electrical fires.
Battery master switches are available with brass or plated steel cases and are actuated by lever or hencol key. Contacts are either silver or copper. O-rings feature in the operating shaft of some models for additional moisture and dirt protection.

Rocker switches are manufactured in many different variations to handle most vehicle and equipment applications and are usually classified by the number of poles and throws to identify their basic operation.
Rocker switches can be either snap-in or bracket mounting, actuators can be illuminated or imprinted, contain pilot lights, or have both pilot lights and imprinting.

Ignition switches are operated by a coded key and tumbler lock, hencol keyed lock or lever. Lever design is available in three different configurations: short, long and military. Ignition switches are available with coded cylinder locks and keys or hencol non-tumbler locks with compatible keys.
Switches are available with a grounded case design with a separate ground terminal. A grounded case switch must be installed in a metal panel which is part of the vehicle earthing system. In non-grounded panels, select a switch with an earth terminal.

A solenoid is an electromagnetic relay used in a direct current wiring system between a low current capacity switch and a high current load requirement.
In an engine starting system, the ignition switch in the start position may have a rating of 5 amps whilst the starter motor may have a cranking requirement of 200 to 350 amps.
Once energised by the ignition switch, the solenoid coil moves the high current capacity contact to a closed position, thereby energising the starter motor.
