The following information should be considered to select the correct solenoid:

  • What is the linear movement needed?
  • How much force is required to operate?
  • What is the space limitation for the solenoid?
  • What is the duty cycle of the solenoid?
  • What is the operating temperature range?
  • Are there any special industrial environmental concerns?
  • Is there a need for additional circuit protection?
  • What size lead wire and length of lead are required?
