AC Solenoid vs DC Solenoid?

AC Solenoids

• have an in-rush current, providing high initial stroke force
• can utilise longer strokes than DC solenoids for the above reason
• may hum in operation, according to the application conditions
• the armature (plunger) must always be allowed to seat, otherwise over-heating of the coil may occur
  

DC Solenoids

• are generally quieter in operation
• have longer operating life (bearing construction versions)
• any DC Solenoid can be operated from an AC supply via a simple bridge-rectifier, also available from us – ask for details
• For force/stroke equivalent DC units refer to our GFC range
