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.

Schurter EDC Electro-Mechanical Direct Current Switch
Schurter launched an electromechanical micro switch with a switching capacity of 10A,48VDC.
EDC: Safe Switching of Direct Current
Uniquely compact design – ideal for mobile applications
Extremely durable (over 1 million switching cycles)
Available in 2 versions (universal and Schurter specific)
Rated current 10 A at 48 VDC
The Schurter EDC (Electronic Direct Current) switch was specifically engineered for the reliable switching of direct current in compact systems. It combines the mechanical precision of a microswitch with integrated power electronics.
The result of Schurter's new development: completely arc-free. Arcing is one of the greatest safety risks when switching direct current. The use of modern semiconductors completely eliminates arcing.
With the well-known feel of mechanical switches, the load current is switched electronically without galvanic isolation. This protects both the system and the environment from damage caused by sparking or EMC interference.
Long-Lasting and Reliable At the same time, the EDC achieves well over a million switching cycles, as there is no arc-related erosion of the contacts. This extends the service life and reduces maintenance costs.
Ultra-Compact Design Thanks to its compact design, the switch can also be integrated in confined installation situations. This is ideal for onboard systems in electromobility, compact power distribution systems in the aerospace industry or mobile robot solutions. The EDC also scores highly in industrial control systems with battery buffered DC supply thanks to its high level of safety, energy efficiency and ease of installation.
2 Variants The new Schurter EDC is available in two versions. Firstly, as a stand-alone version (EDC 02) for universal actuators, and secondly as a Schurter-specific version for the MSM II switch as an actuator (EDC 01). Both versions are designed for a rated current of 10 A at 48 VDC.
Robust and Future-Proof With the EDC switch, Schurter addresses the growing demands for safety, miniaturization and eliability in modern DC applications – a robust solution for future-proof designs.
