Standard Ignition SS-206 Starter Solenoid

Starter Solenoid for Classic Chrysler and Dodge

Standard Ignition SS-206 is a 12-volt starter solenoid built for classic Chrysler and Dodge starting systems. It uses heavy-duty copper contacts and higher-purity copper windings to support strong current transfer, reduced arcing, and reliable starter engagement.

Key Features

• 12-volt starter solenoid for vintage Chrysler and Dodge applications
• Heavy-duty copper contacts help reduce arcing and extend service life
• More pure copper windings create a stronger magnetic field
• Polyester-insulated magnet wire and cadmium-plated copper discs help reduce voltage drop
• Solid contact bolts and pure copper battery terminal studs support higher current flow
• 3-terminal design with male stud terminals and round connector shape
• Silver finish with aluminum housing

Detailed Description

SS-206 is engineered for starting systems that need dependable electrical transfer under load. The solenoid’s copper-based internal construction helps deliver full battery power to the starter while limiting resistance, which is important in older vehicles where voltage drop can affect cranking performance. Standard Ignition builds this starter solenoid with high-grade materials and controlled manufacturing for consistent operation in demanding underhood conditions.

This part cross-references Spectra Premium ST106 for the same application. It is a direct-fit option for many Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, including Fits 1970-1971 Dodge Challenger, N/A; Fits 1970-1971 Dodge Charger, N/A; Fits 1970-1971 Dodge Dart, N/A; and Fits 1966-1969 Dodge Charger, N/A with Direct Drive Starter. It also serves classic Chrysler applications such as Fits 1967 Chrysler 300, N/A with 11 Inch Clutch and Fits 1965-1967 Chrysler Imperial, N/A with 11 Inch Clutch.

What It Helps Fix

• Slow or weak starter engagement
• Intermittent no-crank conditions
• Voltage loss between the battery and starter
• Arcing-related contact wear inside the solenoid
• Starting issues in older Chrysler and Dodge electrical systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s starter style, clutch configuration, and emissions-related notes before installation. This SS-206 application includes vehicles with direct drive starters, 11-inch clutch setups, and select U.S. emissions configurations, so matching the original equipment layout is important. Confirm the 3-terminal stud arrangement and 12-volt system requirements before connecting the battery and starter leads.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures starting and charging components with quality control maintained throughout the production process, from component selection to finished part. SS-206 is built with copper contacts, copper windings, and corrosion-resistant plated components to support long service life in classic vehicle electrical systems.
