JF-0826B DC 12V 20N 10mm Stroke Push-Pull Type DC Solenoid Electromagnet

JF-0826B DC 12V 20N 10mm Stroke Push-Pull Type DC Solenoid Electromagnet is a robust, open-frame linear motion actuator designed for demanding locking, punching, and vending machine applications. This solenoid utilizes the principle of electromagnetism to convert electrical energy into mechanical push or pull action, offering a rapid, reliable, and straightforward method of control. Therefore, you can easily integrate the JF-0826B into automated systems requiring a quick, short-stroke linear actuation force. Powered by 12V DC, this model provides a substantial holding force of approximately 20 Newtons (N) over a 10 mm stroke. Furthermore, its open-frame structure ensures efficient heat dissipation, supporting intermittent duty cycles common in industrial and commercial machinery.

Key Features:

• High Force Output: Generates a significant force of ≈ 20 N (Newtons) at the starting point, suitable for heavy-duty switching and locking mechanisms.
• Short-Stroke Precision: Offers a consistent maximum stroke distance of 10 mm, delivering precise mechanical movement for controlled actuation.
• Push-Pull Operation: The solenoid is designed to execute both pushing and pulling movements, allowing versatility in linear motion system design.
• DC 12V Operation: Designed to operate directly from a standard 12V DC power source, simplifying integration with battery-powered or common DC power supply circuits.
• Open Frame Design: The construction facilitates rapid thermal cooling and easy mounting integration, maximizing the operational lifespan under repeated use.

Pinout and Wiring:

• Red Wire (Positive): Connect this wire to the +12 V_DC power supply terminal.
• Black Wire (Negative): Connect this wire to the circuit ground (GND) or the switching mechanism (e.g., transistor/MOSFET).
• Switching Note: Always connect a flyback diode (e.g., 1N4007) in reverse parallel across the solenoid terminals to protect the switching transistor from back EMF generated when the coil is de-energized.
