sorry but I am a noob to electronics but here goes.
I have a 12v DC adapter outputting 2amp which and I need to hook it up to a solenoid which is super strong. I tried with a 12v DC 2a solenoid (20N force) and its really really weak. I then tried with a 12v DC 300mA solenoid (6N force) and its super strong however it soon got hot and went bust (over current I assume). Can someone unlock this mystery for me and tell me what the best solenoid I should get for the adapter (I am stuck with the 12v 2a adapter).

12v 2a solenoid (WEAK when working with above adapter, possibly defect?)
