[Eclipse Magnetics](https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/eclipse-magnetics) is, as one might surmise, a specialist in magnetic products and equipment including electromagnets. One of their offerings is [M52175/12VDC](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/eclipse-magnetics-ltd/M52175-12VDC/16630816), an energize-to-hold electromagnet useful for a variety of functions. A question we’ve gotten recently is what other equipment one needs to make this function, such as armature plates and cables/connectors?

Per Eclipse’s [datasheet](https://mm.digikey.com/Volume0/opasdata/d220001/medias/docus/7121/4307_M52172%20to%20M25176%20all%20versions.pdf), the recommended armature plate would be [M52171/50ARM](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/eclipse-magnetics-ltd/m52171-50arm/16630709). As for cables? The device includes an integrated Hirschman connector with screw termination, which should allow any variety of application-dependent termination options.
