PA28-180 Power Contactor Relay source?
I've been trying to find this part on-line without much luck. It is listed
in the Piper parts manual as 455151 but also referred to as 6041H105A. It's the relay mounted along side the battery box. My Archer has been cranking rather slowly even after replacing a dying G-35 with a new RG-35AXC battery. This relay was almost too hot to touch 5 minutes after starting and then shutting down the engine. Best Regards, Mike Noel |

Definately get the part called for in the parts manual (or its equivalent). Those type of solenoid relays come in (at least) two varieties: intermittent duty (e.g. for engaging starters), and continuous duty (what you need). If it gets that hot, it's possible someone replaced it with an "AutoZone Special" intermittent duty solenoid. -Cory -- ************************************************** *********************** * Cory Papenfuss * * Electrical Engineering candidate Ph.D. graduate student * * Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University * ************************************************** *********************** |

The number you gave, 6041H105A is a Cutler-Hammer number.
The planes all use variants of this. The differences are things like the diameter of the stud bolts. BTW, as these age the phenolic tends to shrink. The stack of nuts gets loose. I've had some luck just loosening the nuts and re-torquing them from the bottom of the stack up. On the stud bolts that is. Bill Hale |

Last I looked, it was running about $340, and that was 2 years ago. -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.
