Frequently asked questions
How do I drive it from a microcontroller?
Do not connect it directly to a microcontroller pin. Switch it with a transistor or MOSFET controlled by the board, using a separate 12 V supply and a flyback diode across the coil.
Will it hold 5 kg on any surface?
5 kg is the listed holding capacity, and the actual force depends on the contact surface and the load. The load must be ferromagnetic, such as steel, to be attracted.
