Driving solenoiods...
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Dear Stampers,
I found in our archive a two years old message that mentiones IPS021
as a good choice for driving a solenoid. Does anyone tried that one?
My latching solenoid is about 5 Ohm and I drive it with 12V for a
very short period of time. No holding cycle is needed, since its
latching. It is also my understanding that if a solenoid driven by a
semiconductor device, no "kick-back" diode is needed.
Any suggestions on other options and any advice will be greatly
appreciated.
Alex.

your still driving a coil of wire, relay, solenoid, inductor, it doesnt
matter.

is only because on this device it is included with in the device. Other
types of drivers may not have this feature and would require it placed
externally. Please see:

But certainly all unprotected transistors need kick-back protection.
