If you’re looking to electronically control the locking mechanism of doors, drawers, or any other moving part, this solenoid lock is the perfect solution. You can easily interface this electromagnetic lock with a microcontroller such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi using a simple relay or a one-channel relay driver module.
Solenoids operate on the principle of electromagnetism: they consist of a coil of copper wire with an armature (a metal slug) in the center. When the coil is energized, the slug is pulled into the center of the coil, allowing the solenoid to exert pulling force.
This 1240 12V DC 1.7A 20.6W 1kg Holding Solenoid for Electric Door Lock is suitable for locking vending machines, storage shelves, file cabinets, and more. It features a hidden unlocking method for emergencies. The lock operates by disconnecting the circuit, unlocking instantly upon power-on. With its steady, durable, and energy-saving design, this solenoid lock boasts a long lifespan and superior anti-theft and shockproof features compared to other lock types.
Once the wires are connected and current is supplied, the electric lock can control the door’s opening and closing. This particular solenoid lock is robust, featuring a slug with a slanted cut and a reliable mounting bracket. Essentially, it serves as an electronic lock for basic cabinets, safes, or doors. By default, the lock remains active, preventing the door from opening as the solenoid slug obstructs it. No power is consumed in this state. Applying 9-12 Volt DC current causes the slug to retract, allowing the door to open effortlessly.
Applications: Applied to the cabinet lock, locker locks, file cabinet locks, luggage locks, electric locks, door locks, solenoid locks, drawer, newspaper boxes lock, sauna lock, locker electromagnetic locks, electric locks, newspaper boxes, sauna Electronics lock

How to Use 1240-12V DC 12V 1.7A 20.6W 1kg Holding Solenoid for
Mount the solenoid’s open frame board to your door or housing using suitable screws, align the plunger face against the strike plate, then wire the coil to a 12 V DC supply through a relay or driver module. Activate the relay to energize the coil, causing the solenoid slug to pull in and lock. De-energizing releases the latch for automatic unlocking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run this solenoid continuously?
Yes, the 1240-12V DC solenoid is rated for continuous operation at 12 V DC and 1.7 A. Ensure proper ventilation around the coil to avoid overheating during prolonged use.
What mounting hardware do I need?
The product includes an open frame mounting board with pre-drilled holes. Use M4 or equivalent screws (not supplied) to secure the board to metal or wood surfaces.
How do I interface this solenoid with an Arduino?
Use a 12 V DC power supply, a suitable N-PN transistor or one-channel relay driver module, and a flyback diode across the coil. Control the transistor or relay input from an Arduino digital pin to switch the solenoid on and off safely.
