Small Bicron Solenoids Do Big Jobs in Security Devices
A DEPENDABLE FORCE IN A SMALL PACKAGE is just what was needed to put mechanical energy into a small locking device. With a body size of only 0.4" x 0.6", the solenoid shown was specially designed to require minimum space to satisfy our customer's design requirements. The sturdy "D"- frame gives it maximum stability throughout many years of operation.
