Introducing the Ledex® B12 Series Box Frame Solenoids. At just 2.0 in (50.8 mm) x 1.25 in (31.75 mm) the B12 are the company’s most compact linear open frame solenoids available to date.

Johnson Electric introduces Ledex® B12 Series Box Frame Solenoids.  At just 2.0 in (50.8 mm) x 1.25 in (31.75 mm) the B12 are the company’s most compact linear open frame solenoids available to date.  They are specifically engineered to fit where space is at a premium and to provide fast actuation times and high performance in applications where battery powered operation may be required.  Pull versions are standard; push versions are also available.

B12 Series box frame solenoids weigh just 0.3 oz. (8.5 g), provide dielectric strength of 500 VRMS for one second with holding force of 7.7 oz. (2.1 N) at 20°C, and provide 100% continuous duty cycle operation at 20°C ambient temperature.  A magnetically latching version will be launched later in 2010.

Ledex’s popular B16-L and B17-L latching open frame solenoids are now RoHS compliant. They feature an integral return spring and are specifically designed for latching applications such as security systems, office automation and medical devices.

These compact solenoids provide a maximum force of 25 oz. and a maximum stroke of 0.18 inches in a compact housing less than one inch in length and less than 0.6 inches in width. They offer 10%, 25%, and 50% duty cycles and are available as standard with 3, 6, 12 or 24 VDC input voltages, with optional input voltages up to 120 VDC.   Two plunger cone configurations are available.
