This 5V electromagnet provides 25kg of holding force when energised with approximately 5V DC (4–6V working range). When the power is switched off, the magnet loses its magnetic field, making it suitable for controllable locking, sorting, and pick-and-place applications.
Since it behaves as an inductive load, you should drive it through a motor or solenoid driver with flyback (kick-back) protection to avoid damaging your microcontroller.
