★ Original solenoid for the Ducellier 24V starter motor. NOS quality — suitable for authentic restorations of 24V M201 jeeps.
Application
Specifically for Hotchkiss M201 jeeps with 24V electrical system, produced from mid-1960 to 1966. The 24V system was introduced by the French army for NATO uniformity and to enable the fitment of suppressed 24V radio equipment. Not applicable to early M201 models (1955-1960) which had 6V.
Installation notes
Please note: verify that your M201 actually has a 24V system (identifiable by twin 12V batteries). The solenoid is mounted on the Ducellier starter motor and activates the bendix via the ignition switch circuit. Ensure correct connection of the BAT and MUT terminals according to the wiring diagram.
Compatibility
Only suitable for M201 jeeps with 24V Ducellier starter motor (pre-engaged type). NOT compatible with 6V systems or other starter motor types. Early M201 models (1955-1960) had 6V — verify this before purchase.
Historical context
From 1960, the French army switched to 24V electrical systems for the M201, as part of NATO standardisation and to enable the use of suppressed ignition systems and radio equipment. Ducellier supplied the 24V pre-engaged starter motors for these later production M201 jeeps.
