JF-0530B Push-Pull DC Solenoid – 10mm Stroke, 50g 5N Force (6V/12V 2A/24V 300mA Optional)

Description

The JF-0530B is a compact open-frame push-pull DC solenoid designed for short-stroke linear actuation in space-constrained electromechanical assemblies. It delivers a rated holding force of approximately 5N (≈500g) across a 10mm stroke, making it suitable for light-duty latching, locking, dispensing, and sorting mechanisms . The solenoid uses a spring-return plunger: when the coil is energized, the plunger moves to perform work; when power is removed, the internal spring returns it to the rest position . The open-frame construction features a tinned copper coil and a low-carbon steel housing, with mounting holes for secure installation . Available in 6V, 12V, and 24V coil variants, the JF-0530B accommodates different DC power architectures while maintaining the same compact body size of approximately 13×16.5×30mm . It is well-suited for individual makers building small automation projects and for business purchasers seeking a low-cost actuator for vending machines, electronic locks, office equipment, and light commercial automation.

Important Note on Specifications: Listings for the JF-0530B show significant inconsistencies in current ratings across different sellers. The 12V variant is variously described as drawing 300mA and approximately 1A in independent user testing, with one reviewer noting the unit “draws almost exactly 1 amp” despite a 300mA label . The 24V variant is reported at around 300mA . Buyers should verify the actual current draw of their specific unit before finalizing driver and power supply designs.

Features

• Push-Pull Operation with Spring Return: The plunger performs work when energized and automatically resets via internal spring when power is removed, simplifying mechanical design .

• Compact Open-Frame Design: Small body dimensions of approximately 13×16.5×30mm allow integration into tight enclosures and compact mechanisms .

• Multiple Voltage Options: Available in 6V, 12V, and 24V coil variants to match different DC power supply architectures .

• 5N Holding Force with 10mm Stroke: Provides moderate actuation force suitable for light-duty latching, locking, and dispensing tasks .

• Tinned Copper Coil: Offers oxidation resistance and low electrical resistance for stable, efficient operation .

• Quiet Operation Features: E-clip ring and rubber washer help minimize operating noise .

• Mounting Holes: The frame includes mounting points for secure attachment to brackets and panels .

• Intermittent Duty Design: Intended for short-duration energization; extended continuous operation is not recommended due to coil heating .
