Standard Ignition SS-328 Starter Solenoid

Starter Solenoid for OE-Style Starting Performance

Standard Ignition SS-328 is a 12-volt starter solenoid built for direct replacement service on a wide range of GM, Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Isuzu applications. It uses heavy-duty copper contacts, pure copper windings, and low-resistance terminal materials to help deliver full battery power to the starter.

Key Features

• 12-volt starter solenoid with 3 screw terminals
• Male connector and male terminal design with round connector shape
• 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
• Pure copper battery terminal studs reduce resistance in high-heat environments
• Hardware included for installation

Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition SS-328 starter solenoid is engineered for dependable starter engagement and consistent current transfer. Its copper contact design, solid contact bolts, and low-resistance terminal studs are built to move battery power efficiently to the starter motor while helping protect the electrical circuit from overload. Standard Ignition manufactures this starting and charging component with controlled quality throughout production, from internal parts to finished assembly. This part cross-references ACI 84104 for the same application.

Compatible With applications such as 1990-1996 Chevrolet C1500, 1993-1995 GMC K1500, and 1991-1995 Pontiac Grand Prix, this SS-328 starter solenoid also appears across many 1988-1996 GM truck, van, and passenger car platforms. It is a practical replacement choice when servicing no-crank or intermittent-start concerns on vehicles that use a 12-volt, screw-terminal solenoid layout.

What It Is Used For

• No-crank condition when the starter does not receive full battery power
• Intermittent starter engagement caused by worn internal contacts
• Voltage drop at the starter circuit from aged solenoid components
• Slow or weak starter response in hot operating conditions
• Electrical overload protection concerns in the starting circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and voltage before installation. Confirm OE reference numbers and vehicle-specific fitment for your application, especially on 1990s GM trucks, vans, and passenger cars. Clean battery cable ends and starter connections before mounting the new solenoid to help reduce resistance and ensure proper current flow.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition is a global manufacturer of original equipment ignition products and maintains quality control through the manufacturing process. The SS-328 is built with high-grade materials selected for extended service life in starting and charging system use.
