Western 49230K-2 – Solenoid Valve Coil with Spade Terminals

The genuine Western 49230K-2 Solenoid Valve Coil with Spade Terminals serves as the primary electromagnetic actuator mounted directly over the hydraulic cartridge valve stems within the manifold block assembly. Engineered for modern Western UltraMount® and UltraMount® 2 straight-blade, V-plow, and expanding-wing setups, this factory-original 12V DC coil converts electronic triggers from the cab control network into a mechanical magnetic field. Commercial snow plow contractors and shop mechanics install this authentic replacement coil to correct open internal winding circuits, melted housings, or corrosion-damaged terminals that cause sudden loss of blade angling, lifting, or lowering responses.

This original equipment manufacturer electrical component features a robust internal copper winding structure wrapped around a 1/2-inch inner diameter core, drawing approximately 1.47 amps to actuate internal valve plungers cleanly under high-pressure conditions. The exterior housing features two pre-fixed 1/4-inch male spade terminal connections designed to slide directly into the factory plow-side control wiring harness layout. Because this is an authentic OEM component, it matches factory electrical impedance and resistance thresholds perfectly, safeguarding sensitive multiplexed isolation modules and electronic control circuits from destructive voltage drops or sudden circuit feedback.

For professional ice removal operations and commercial fleet supervisors, replacing a failing or high-resistance solenoid coil prevents erratic plow movements and sudden controller error codes mid-storm. The heavy-duty resin encapsulation blocks out salt brine spray, sub-zero moisture accumulation, and continuous engine bay vibration. Utilizing this original factory component ensures your hydraulic power unit performs exactly to design specifications, maintaining fast and reliable blade response all winter long.

Benefits of the Western 49230K-2 Solenoid Valve Coil

• Genuine OEM Electrical Component: Custom-calibrated to factory blueprints for precise compatibility across Western, Fisher, and SnowEx hydraulic systems.

• 1/4-Inch Dual Spade Terminals: Pre-formed slide-on spade contacts allow for a rapid plug-and-play refresh without cutting or splicing wires.

• High-Efficiency 12V DC Windings: Engineered to deliver crisp magnetic pull while drawing minimal amperage to reduce strain on the vehicle battery system.

• Encapsulated Moisture Protection: Rugged outer shell protects delicate copper coils from severe chemical de-icers and freeze-thaw oxidation.

• Restores Valve Functionality: Instantly corrects intermittent or non-responsive lift, lower, or angling controls stemming from weak electromagnetic fields.
