Robert,

I'm not sure if I have your requirments right, but it sounds like the
ULN2003 would work for you.

Think we need a bit more information. 12v 4amp - is that per solenoid? The
2003/2803 can only handle 500mA. Most of the solenoids I use at work are
either 8 watt or 3 watt using 24 volt AC. a 48 watt solenoid is pretty huge.
What are the actual ratings of these solenoids?
