Standard Ignition SS-564 Starter Solenoid

Starter Solenoid for Reliable 12V Starting

The Standard Ignition SS-564 starter solenoid is a 12-volt electrical switching component built for starting system service. It uses male connectors, male stud terminals, and a continuous-duty design to deliver battery power to the starter with stable electrical contact.

For vehicles such as Ford, Chevrolet, and International applications that use this style of starter solenoid, SS-564 provides a direct replacement option with OE-style construction and mounting support.

Key Features

• 12-volt starter solenoid for starting and charging system repair
• Continuous-duty design for sustained electrical operation
• Male connector and male stud terminal configuration
• Two connectors and two stud terminals for straightforward wiring
• Aluminum finish with included mounting brackets and hardware
• Heavy-duty copper contacts help reduce arcing and contact wear
• Pure copper windings support a stronger magnetic field
• Cadmium-plated copper discs and solid contact bolts help reduce voltage drop
• Pure copper battery terminal studs help lower resistance in high-heat conditions

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition SS-564 is engineered as a starter solenoid replacement for 12V starting systems where dependable current transfer is critical. Its internal copper contacts, copper windings, and low-resistance terminal design help deliver full battery power to the starter while supporting long service life. This makes it a practical choice for Ford starter solenoid replacement, Chevrolet starter solenoid service, and International truck electrical repair where the original unit uses a stud-terminal solenoid layout. The SS-564 part number is also commonly searched as SS-564 when cross-shopping ignition and starting components.

This part cross-references Bosch 15122 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• No-crank or intermittent crank conditions caused by a failing solenoid
• Starter engagement problems from worn internal contacts
• Voltage drop between the battery and starter motor
• Heat-related starting issues from high resistance at the terminals
• Electrical overload concerns in the starting circuit

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector gender, terminal type, and 12V system requirement before installation. Match the mounting bracket style and stud-terminal layout to the original unit, and inspect battery cables and starter wiring for corrosion or looseness during replacement. Confirm polarity and tighten all connections to manufacturer specifications to maintain proper current flow.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition manufactures starting and charging components with complete quality control from component selection through final assembly. The SS-564 uses high-grade materials, including copper-based electrical contacts and windings, to support consistent performance in demanding underhood conditions.
