Solenoid - 36v

The Sparkfun Solenoid - 36V is an optimal choice for inducing linear motion in numerous applications. This solenoid is designed to push, pull, and control switches and levers effectively. While it is rated for 36V, it performs excellently at 12V as well. This solenoid can be conveniently controlled with the Arduino Power Driver Shield. It boasts a throw of 10mm, making it ideal for various motion applications, including actuating door latches, automating percussion instruments, or even just for fun, like poking people.

The Sparkfun Solenoid - 36V has a power draw of 650mA at 12 volts. When operating at the rated 36 volts, the power draw increases to 1.85A. This allows the solenoid to provide consistent performance across a range of voltages.

It's important to note that while the datasheet suggests a throw of 25mm, Sparkfun has measured a throw of 10mm. This discrepancy does not affect the solenoid's performance and is still suitable for a variety of applications.
