A 5V open-frame push-pull solenoid set up as an electric latch. At rest a return spring holds the plunger out so the bolt is thrown; energise the coil and it pulls in and releases. That makes it the actuator behind DIY RFID door locks, keypad entry and cabinet locks. Drive it through a MOSFET or relay from its own supply with a flyback diode, and pulse it to unlock rather than holding it on.
Key features
- 5V DC coil
- Spring-return plunger - locked when unpowered
- Energise to retract the bolt and release
- Open-frame construction with mounting holes
- For RFID, keypad and smart-lock projects
- Needs a MOSFET or relay plus a flyback diode
