24v Solenoids
Can I use 24v solenoids for the air suspension in my truck? I have access to a a bunch of 24v ASCO solenoids for free and I'm curious to know if they could work as is or there's a way to make them work.
Thanks, Matt

Re: 24v Solenoids
It depends on the lower voltage limit. If its 18v minimum to operate then no you can use the. If its 10v most likely but they may be sluggish to open or close or prone to sticking in one position.

Re: 24v Solenoids
I would look closely at the specs. Are you sure they are bubble tight?
Personally, I would never use anything that wasnt intended for my specific application

Re: 24v Solenoids
