50# Solenoid w/Bracket

The 50# Solenoid w/Bracket from AUTO-LOC is a heavy-duty electromagnetic actuator designed for automotive applications requiring reliable door lock, trunk release, or power accessory control. Whether you're building a custom car audio installation, retrofitting power locks, or integrating remote trunk poppers into a classic or modern vehicle, this solenoid delivers the pull force needed for consistent operation under demanding conditions. The integrated bracket simplifies mounting and reduces installation time, making it an essential component for any serious automotive modification project.

Rated at 50 pounds of solenoid force, this unit generates sufficient electromagnetic pull to actuate door mechanisms, latch releases, and motorized accessories without stalling under normal loads. The solenoid operates through a simple principle: electrical current flowing through the coil creates a magnetic field that retracts the plunger, engaging whatever mechanical linkage or latch you've designed into your system. Its compact form factor—measuring just 3.4 by 2.95 by 6 inches and weighing 2.36 pounds—allows flexible placement in tight engine bays or door panels, while the included bracket provides secure, vibration-resistant mounting that won't shift during vehicle operation or repeated cycling.

This solenoid is ideal for custom installers, hot rod builders, and automotive enthusiasts upgrading door lock systems, pop-up headlight mechanisms, fuel door releases, or custom remote-control applications. Proper installation requires a 12-volt power supply with appropriate relay or switch control to manage the electrical load and prevent coil burnout. Verify your application's voltage and duty cycle requirements before purchase; if you're running continuous duty systems, consider adding a capacitor or relay-based control to extend solenoid lifespan and ensure reliable activation over thousands of cycles.
