Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a DC 6V and DC 12V connection for this electromagnetic lock?

A: This subminiature electromagnetic lock supports both DC 6V and DC 12V input voltages. The rated current specification of 0.4A refers to DC 12V operation. When using DC 6V, ensure your power supply can deliver adequate current for consistent locking performance. Always match the input voltage to your system's power supply for safe operation.

Q: Does this lock fail-secure or fail-safe?

A: This electric control lock operates in a fail-secure (interrupted) mode. This means the lock tongue is extended (locked position) when power is OFF, secured by the internal spring. Power must be applied to retract the tongue and unlock. This makes it ideal for applications where the door or gate must remain locked during a power outage.

Q: Can this electromagnetic lock be integrated with an access control system or keypad?

A: Yes. This solenoid latch lock is compatible with standard DC access control systems including keypads, card readers, remote controls, and smart home controllers. Simply route the switching output of your controller through the lock's power circuit — applying DC 12V unlocks it, and cutting power relocks it automatically.

Q: Is this lock suitable for outdoor use?

A: This subminiature electromagnetic lock is primarily designed for indoor applications such as cabinets, lockers, and interior doors. For outdoor gate or door use, ensure the installation location provides adequate protection from moisture and weather exposure, as no specific weatherproofing rating is stated for this model.
