DESCRIPTION
The **Lamar X61-0031 Starter Contactor** (P/N **X61-0031**) is a 24V intermittent-duty electrical solenoid designed for high-current switching in applicable aircraft engine starting systems.
Featuring a normally open (N/O) contact configuration, the X61-0031 controls electrical power delivery to the starter motor when the aircraft starting circuit is activated. Its intermittent-duty design supports the high electrical loads required during engine starting while limiting operation to short periods.
The contactor features silver alloy stationary contacts and copper alloy movable contacts, with a maximum inrush current rating of 900A DC and maximum breaking current of 250A DC. It is designed for compatible general aviation electrical systems and can accommodate selected single-terminal and double-terminal switching arrangements.
