Performance Specifications
   Maximum Stroke:       Maximum stroke is the full linear travel of the solenoid plunger, from fully extended to fully seated. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Response Time:       Time to move the plunger full stroke under no load. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Action       
   Your choices are...         
   Push       Base side of a solenoid actuates in a "push" action. 
   Pull       Armature side of a solenoid actuates in a "pull" action. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Continuous Duty Ratings
   Power Rating (DC watts or AC VA):       This represents the input power possible for a solenoid with a specified winding at a specified voltage. The units for DC solenoids are watts (W) and the units for AC solenoids are volt-amps (VA). 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Starting Force:       Force when starting, at full stroke or extension, de-energized. When the force at full extension is unavailable, the force at the greatest specified stroke is given in the search results. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Holding Force:       Force at zero stroke, fully energized (seated). 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

Intermittent Duty Ratings
   Power Rating (DC watts or AC VA):       This represents the input power possible for a solenoid with a specified winding at a specified voltage. The units for DC solenoids are watts (W) and the units for AC solenoids are volt-amps (VA). 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Starting Force:       Force when starting, at full stroke or extension, de-energized. When the force at full extension is unavailable, the force at the greatest specified stroke is given in the search results. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Holding Force:       Force at zero stroke, fully energized (seated). 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Maximum "On" Time:       This is the maximum time allowable for the solenoid to be "on" or energized for a specified duty cycle. 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Construction
   Construction       
   Your choices are...         
   Open Frame       Box, C Frame, D Frame. 
   Tubular       Designed for relatively long-stroke applications; enclosed in tubular casing. 
   Push / Pull       Cylindrical solenoid with a dense coil and an armature flange as an auxiliary magnetic path. 
   Clapper       Hinged-designed solenoid for low-force, long-life applications. Also known as "Flapper". 
   Laminate       Laminated Frame, AC voltage type. Insulated laminations allow magnetic field to develop while minimizing eddy currents. 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Latching, Magnetic or Self Holding       Utilizes a permanent magnet to hold the plunger in the seated position with no applied power. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Two-way Latching       Utilizes two coils and pole pieces with one magnet between them to hold in two positions. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

Features
   Dual Coil       Dual coil design provides greater pull and hold strength than a single coil design for the same size solenoid. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Protective Boot       Protective boot, usually of a bellows or sleeve design of elastomeric material, provides protection for the moving plunger in harsh or contaminated environments. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Variable Position Control       Solenoids are often simple on-off devices; some, such as proportional solenoids, can be positioned anywhere along the stroke. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Integral Position Feedback       Integral encoder or other signal indicating position. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Return Spring Included       Typically a compression spring holding the plunger extended when not powered. Spring force must be subtracted from starting force to obtain available starting force. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Hermetically Sealed       Airtight. 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Intrinsically Safe       Intrinsically safe (IS) is an adjective for equipment and wiring which is incapable of releasing sufficient electrical or thermal energy under normal or abnormal conditions to cause ignition of a specific hazardous atmospheric mixture in its most ignited concentration. The IS terminations and wiring may be brought into any hazardous location of any group classification for which it is accepted without requiring explosion proof housing or other means of protection.
