Solenoids
What are Solenoids?
A solenoid is a type of electromagnet formed by a helical coil of wire. When an electric current passes through this coil, it generates a controlled magnetic field. Here are some key points about solenoids:
Structure: A solenoid typically consists of a long piece of wire wound into a coil. The length of the coil is substantially greater than its diameter
Magnetic Field: The electric current flowing through the coil produces a uniform magnetic field inside the solenoid. This field can be used to create linear motion or to control other magnetic fields
Applications: Solenoids are widely used in various devices, including car starters, doorbells, and washing machines. They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, making them essential in many electromechanical systems
What Do We Supply?
We supply a great range of solenoids, including:
AC Laminated Solenoid
DC C-Frame Solenoid
DC D-Frame Solenoid
Linear Solenoid
Rotary Solenoid
Why Choose E. Preston?
Since our inception in 1980, our business focus has been on providing two things: a reputation for outstanding customer service, and an unbeatable range and stock of electrical and electronic components.
We feel we have achieved that at E Preston, and that probably explains our company growth over the years. We do not want to become complacent though, and we always work hard to exceed customer’s expectations when they deal with us, if we can.
Our service is unashamedly a little old fashioned, ensuring we follow up on promises to customers, and phoning back when we said we were going to. We also do our best to ensure the customer receives their order next day. You can also talk to us about flexible payment terms, if needed.

With the new switch from the MSM II family with M12 connector (8 pins), Schurter is focusing on a solution that has been specially developed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Thanks to the M12 connector system, robust construction, and integrated RGB illumination, this switch combines maximum reliability, functionality, and modern design in a compact unit.
The standardized M12 connector ensures fast, secure, and error-free installation—without any complicated wiring. Thanks to the fixed pin assignment, wiring errors are effectively avoided, which not only simplifies installation but also speeds it up considerably.
The mechanical design is made for permanent industrial use—shockproof, vibration-resistant, and resistant to tough environments. This means the switch will keep working reliably for years, even in extreme conditions.
The three-color RGB illumination provides clear status indication or individual signals. Example: green = active; red = off; flashing orange = error condition. This makes the switch ideal for machine controls, control systems, or user interfaces.
The new Schurter MSM II M12 switch is suitable for applications where installations must be made quickly, easily, and safely. It is used in industrial automation, machine and plant engineering, as well as in public and commercial areas where clear signaling and high reliability are required.
Sensata / Crydom Full Range (PCB Mount AC Output) Solid State Relays
SSRs with Small Footprint Designed to Mount on a Printed Circuit Board. Ratings from 1 to 25 Amps at 24 to 660 VAC
Sensata | Crydom offers an extensive line of PCB Mount AC Output Solid State Relays including the popular industry standard footprint SIP, Mini SIP and DIP configurations, and most of the SIP type SSRs are also offered as DIN rail mountable assemblies.
Our PCB mount AC output SSRs are ideally suited for high density applications and they are available with ratings from 1 to 25 Amps at 24 to 660 VAC. Inputs are available covering 24 to 140 VAC or 3 to 32 VDC depending upon model.
With the exception of some AC output models rated greater than 10 Amps where forced air is used for improved output ratings, all of our PCB mount relay output ratings are based upon free air.
