With a 12V DC input, this 12V DC Solenoid Electromagnetic Electric Lock secures drawers and cabinets. Under 0.6A-0.8A current, the 10mm tongue retracts for 1 second to open. It functions within DIY electronics BD projects or standard access control systems. Metal construction provides physical resistance against unauthorized drawer entry.
Key Features
- Fail-Secure Mechanism: Stays locked when power disconnects from the 12V source. Contents remain secure during local load shedding.
- Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Surface treatment prevents oxidation on the metal housing. Hardware resists rust in high humidity environments.
- 10mm Tongue Stroke: Internal solenoid moves the locking pin exactly 10mm. Provides sufficient clearance for standard cabinet latching.
- Wide Operating Temperature: Component functions between -40°C and 50°C. Internal mechanics won't seize inside hot server enclosures.
- Compact Dimensions: Metal frame measures 54x41x27 mm in total. Fits into tight drawer corners without blocking internal space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to connect 12V solenoid lock to Arduino?
Use a relay module or a power transistor to switch the 12V supply. Direct connection to Arduino pins will cause hardware failure due to high current draw.
Can a 12V solenoid lock stay powered on?
Limit power-on time to short 1-second bursts for unlocking. Continuous current causes the internal coil to overheat and eventually burn out.
