The Concealment Solenoid Controller uses a Darlington Pair to drive the solenoid latch. The circuit works for everything from door latches to tiny compartment latches. Activation can vary depending on the application. Just a few types of activation devices include: Pin Switches, magnetic reed switches, limit switches, push button switches, or toggle switches. Other possibilities could be activation using direct input signals to turn on the Darlington.

Solenoids Latches
There are many solenoid-latches available. You need to make sure that the rated voltage matches your power supply and the current requirements don’t exceed the transistor’s current rating.
