Small solenoid needed

#1

I need a push pull solenoid with a body no longer than 30mm, with the diameter no more than 18mm.
Operating voltage can be anywhere from 5V to 12V.
Force of around 0.5Kg (maybe?) and a throw of around 4mm.

I had a look here and couldn’t find anything. Does anyone have any pointers?

(Please note the product is subject to a NDA so I can only talk in general terms)

If nothing on Core try Element 14 or RS Online. Both have many thousands of components, are in Aust and mailing service pretty good.

Now to find a distributor.

I looked and couldn’t find anything that fit my requirements. Thanks though.

Thanks Brian. This is a new commercial application, so in this instance that’s not an option.

Hey Dave,

Thanks for making a post, and glad you managed to find a solution!

Looks like the nearest distributor for these is in Japan:

It might also be worth getting in touch with their European division for Engineering support.

Indeed. The email I sent was answered yesterday by someone that obviously does not speak English as a first language, with a CC to the Japanese contact you have listed above, and this morning the Japanese person contacted me with very good english to assist in my enquiries.

So far, so good.
