I wish to use a 12vdc lead battery to drive a 12vdc miniature push solenoid.
Here are specifications of solenoid.
Ledex 12VDC tubular solenoid pushes a 1" long plunger pin. Size of solenoid about 1" long x 0.5"Dia. Has 3/8" threaded bushing for panel mounting. Our tests indicate the pin can push out about 0.4". Has 1" long insulated leads with mounting nut.
Coil resistance is 48 ohms and it requires about 250mA to operate.
The battery is 12vdc with 5Ah.
My first attempt at direct wiring produced no movement of plunger.
Please help with detailed advice. The project is due shortly.
Thanks.
