Q: Does this solenoid have an internal diode? The solenoid that I am replacing looks like it has a diode in the wire that goes from the S terminal to the mounting bolt.
There is no internal diode. These do not need a diode to function properly, but we always recommend hooking the new contactor up the exact way the old one was connected.
Q: What is the mount bolt torque?
Per the manufacturer: We do not have a torque spec for the mounting bolts. You would just tighten the bolts down to fully secure the unit.
