Solenoid DSML-1153-24C

[APDahlen]

Hello @hipoweredge,

The article is complete.

You may be interested in the section of asymmetric magnetic fields toward the end of the note. Assuming your application spends most of the time in the unlatched state, you could benefit from the resistor and diode. This would significantly reduce the coil heating and provide an improved mechanical response.

Sincerely,

Aaron

Operation of the Latching Solenoid

What is a latching solenoid? A solenoid is an electromechanical mechanism that moves a plunger in response to an application of an electric current. A latching solenoid provides the same linear motion; however, it includes a mechanism to hold the plunger in a fixed position independent of electricity. The latch is formed from residual magnetism or, as featured in this article, permanent holding magnets. Energy savings and increased operational life are the primary advantage of the latching solen…
