• IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's dust-tight and protected against submersion in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes
• IDC (insulation-displacement contact) termination for a simple and secure connection
• High clamping force of 1000N to keep doors firmly shut
• Long mechanical lifespan of 1,000,000 operations for long-lasting performance

• Sliding doors
• Industrial machinery

Power-to-unlock solenoid switches like this one have an internal solenoid that's energised by an external circuit. This creates a magnetic field that moves a plunger inside the solenoid coil, providing the mechanical force to unlock the gate.
