24 VDC PULL-TYPE SOLENOID

Loved this solenoid, but lacks the ability to go a long time. Got pretty hot when doing a rapid fire of pulls over a few minutes and finally lost ability to operate until cooling down again.

If using for intermittent effect, great bargain, but definitely not for contant use.

For the price, this is a powerful solenoid with a strong return. I wish they made a similar unit at half the size. It will make a noisy click, but you can lessen this by inserting a felt pad for it to stop on.

where can i find the datasheet for this component?

Like other reviewers have said they get hot if overused, but that is to be expected since they are intermittent duty. I found it takes about an amp of current for it to retract it's full length, which I didn't see listed on the specs, but isn't hard to figure out. It's a decent solenoid for no more than it costs.

Of course the solenoid gets hot people!!!!. The Page clearly states that the duty cycle is 10% I.E. if you pulse it for 6 seconds, you need to leave it off for 54 seconds. Of course I guess if you could read, you would also know that it would ideally not be for CONSTANT USE. So, if you are needing a solenoid with a reasonable pull force, for a short duration, I.E. as an electronic trunk opener, this would be your solenoid. Seriously, learn how to read people, if it is not a constant type, it usually means you are going to push the button and then leave the darn thing alone for a while.
