When the coil is energized, the slug is\npulled into the center of the coil. This makes the solenoid able to pull or\npush.This solenoid in particular is nice and strong, with a 40mm long body and\na captive armature with a return spring. This means that when activated with\nup to 12VDC, the solenoid moves and then the voltage is removed it springs\nback to the original position, which is quite handy. Many lower cost solenoids\nare only push type or only pull type and may not have a captive armature or do\nnot have a return spring. This solenoid has 4xM3 metric threaded holes in the\nbottom for easy mounting.To drive a solenoid you will need a power transistor\nand a diode, check this diagram for how to wire it to an Arduino or other\nmicrocontroller. You will need a fairly good power supply to drive a solenoid,\nas a lot of current will rush into the solenoid to charge up the electro-\nmagnet, about 250mA, so don't try to power it with a 9V battery. Works best\nwith a 12V power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eDiameter: 1.14 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eOverall length: 2.8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e5.1 oz\/ 144 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e12 DC operation (you can use 9-12 DC volts, but lower voltage results in weaker\/slower operation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","published_at":"2022-06-26T20:25:29+10:00","created_at":"2022-06-26T20:25:32+10:00","vendor":"Adafruit","type":"Solenoids","tags":["industrial"],"price":13500,"price_min":13500,"price_max":13500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":41609643196596,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"B00R5CIDIW","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Adafruit 413 Push-Pull Solenoid, Large, 12VDC","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":13500,"weight":91,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":null,"barcode":"715933137609","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00R5CIDIW.jpg?v=1656314130","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41Q02Z-braL.jpg?v=1656239133","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41ovHzk57xL.jpg?v=1656239133","\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41FSH7qbOjL.jpg?v=1656239133"],"featured_image":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00R5CIDIW.jpg?v=1656314130","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Adafruit 413 Push-Pull Solenoid, Large, 12VDC ","id":26305149337780,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"width":500,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00R5CIDIW.jpg?v=1656314130"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B00R5CIDIW.jpg?v=1656314130","width":500},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Adafruit 413 Push-Pull Solenoid, Large, 12VDC ","id":26295777722548,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"width":500,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41Q02Z-braL.jpg?v=1656239133"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41Q02Z-braL.jpg?v=1656239133","width":500},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Adafruit 413 Push-Pull Solenoid, Large, 12VDC ","id":26295777755316,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"width":500,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41ovHzk57xL.jpg?v=1656239133"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41ovHzk57xL.jpg?v=1656239133","width":500},{"alt":"[Australia - AusPower] - Adafruit 413 Push-Pull Solenoid, Large, 12VDC ","id":26295777788084,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"width":500,"src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41FSH7qbOjL.jpg?v=1656239133"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":375,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/auspowers.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/41FSH7qbOjL.jpg?v=1656239133","width":500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch3\u003eAdafruit 413 Push-Pull Solenoid, Large, 12VDC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"b\"\u003eSolenoids are basically electromagnets: they are made of a big coil of copper\nwire with an armature in the middle.
