JF-0826B electromagnet - 10 mm stroke, 12 V / 2 A

Product Overview

• Electromagnet for opening and closing with a 10 mm stroke
• Operating voltage: 12 V DC
• Pulling force in both pull and push directions
• Compact design, can be mounted directly with screws
• Must be controlled via a relay or transistor

Product Description

This electromagnet has a 10 mm stroke and operates in both pull and push directions, making it suitable for automated opening and closing tasks. It must be controlled via a relay or suitable transistor, as the coil cannot be powered directly from microcontroller pins. With an operating voltage of 12 V DC, it can be used to activate latches, locking mechanisms, or holding devices.

The compact design allows it to be screwed into existing constructions without major modifications. The pulling force acts in both directions, enabling the armature to move against springs or its own weight. The 10 mm stroke is sufficient for many mechanical applications, such as door openers, latches, or pulling mechanisms.

Typical applications include automated doors or covers in DIY projects, locking applications without contactless activation, and experiment stations designed to hold or release components. For continuous operation, ensure adequate heat dissipation, as the coil heats up when continuously energized.

Operation requires a 12 V DC power supply and a switching module. The mechanism should be designed so that the magnet can handle the required load when closing and the armature returns when opening, if no spring is installed.

Safety Notice

The electromagnet must not be connected to household mains and is intended solely for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes. The coil generates heat during operation; ensure adequate heat dissipation and avoid touching it while it is operating. If you have questions about the power supply or circuit, consult a qualified electrician.
