What is the Vickers 868982 coil?

The 868982 is a Vickers (Eaton) solenoid valve coil in the square-box housing used on the classic Vickers directional valve family: dual-rated 110 V at 50 Hz / 0.85 A and 120 V at 60 Hz / 0.69 A, twin white 600 V-rated leads ending in ring terminals, central bore over the valve tube, four screw-fixing holes. One unit, new in its box; the intake record ships it without warranty. All 6 photos and 1 video below show the exact unit covered by this record.

The dual voltage/current figures are read from the print moulded into the coil face in photo 1.

The 50/60 Hz dual rating, in practice

The face of the coil carries both figures — 110 V 50 Hz at 0.85 A, 120 V 60 Hz at 0.69 A — because the same winding behaves differently across the two line standards: at 60 Hz the higher reactance pulls the current down, so the rating pairs each voltage with its frequency. Feeding it the wrong pairing underdraws or overheats the winding, so the panel design should match both numbers, not just the volts. The square shell slides over the valve's armature tube and bolts through the four corner holes, and the two ring-terminal leads land on standard stud terminals — no plug or DIN connector on this version. The hand-written ES25 on the box matches Vickers' coil-series marking for this housing family. If a 24 V DC coil is what the panel needs, KOEED also lists Vickers coils such as the 300AA00085A.
