24 VDC PULL-TYPE SOLENOID

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.

This solenoid is not very high quality (all Chinese made) and does get very hot even running at 12v. I can't complain because for 1.50 its cheap enough. (ohh and mine came with pin header terminals not wire leads as shown)

These solinoids are good solid working units. But there 3-pound pull force is not strong enough to pull a stair step trigger for a paint ball gun.

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.
