Wiring a solenoid for air blast?

Post by gregfox »

Does anyone happen to know how I would go about wiring this solenoid to centroid for air blast? I just simply want to hook it up to the relay board but am unsure how I can go about doing it.

Here's the solenoid:

Any help is appreciated!

Do I need the fly back diode? If I do what would be a proper diode to use? I don't know much about electrical applications, I apologize for so many questions.

You need a Zener 24V Diode, 5W should be ok, more will also work ok

Would a 1N4007 diode work by chance? I only ask because I have one on hand. If not I will be ordering that one. Thanks for the help.

Yes, any regular diode in the 1N400X series is perfect, a zener is not required.

What did you use for your DC power supply, through the PLC output to the solenoid coil?

What voltage did/do you measure coming from that supply?
