Solenoid - 5V (Small)

Solenoids are an excellent tool for creating linear motion, making them perfect for pushing, pulling, and managing switches and levers. This compact solenoid is specifically engineered to operate seamlessly with 5V, making it an ideal choice for embedded projects. It boasts a throw of approximately 4.5mm and has two M2 mounting holes on its body.

The solenoid's wire lead measures approximately 5.08cm in length and is terminated with a 2-pin JST PH connector, providing a convenient and secure connection.

It's worth noting that the mounting holes on this solenoid are actually 1.6mm in diameter. This feature allows you to tap for an M2 screw. Despite the datasheet indicating a throw of 6mm, the actual throw is closer to 4.5mm, offering precise and reliable performance.

Sparkfun's small 5V solenoid provides a compact and efficient solution for inducing linear motion in a variety of applications. Whether you're controlling switches, levers, or other mechanical elements in your project, this solenoid delivers reliable performance in a small package. Its compatibility with 5V power sources and convenient 2-pin JST PH connector make it a versatile and user-friendly component in any project.

For additional information, refer to the datasheet provided by Sparkfun. It offers comprehensive details about the solenoid's specifications and performance characteristics.
