A compact push-pull solenoid with a captive armature and built-in return spring. When energised with up to 12V DC, the armature moves in one direction; when power is removed, the spring returns it to its resting position. The dual-action design allows it to push from one end or pull from the other.
Unlike many lower-cost solenoids, this one features a captive armature (it won't fall out), a return spring for automatic reset, and mounting tabs for easy installation. It's a reliable, general-purpose solenoid suitable for a wide range of projects.
