Left Field Question: Electromagnet

Postby CheesyMong » Fri Oct 02, 2009 4:55 pm

Anyone know where to buy a low powered electromagnet for use in the CarPC project, I need it to work off 12v, I've checked Jaycar, Altronics, DSE etc..and can't find a cheap 1?

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Joel

Is this to operate a reed relay?

You could probably remove the plunger from one of their solenoids, and just use the coil...
