This specification covers the general requirements for electrical solenoids used to actuate various devices through the conversion of electrical signals into mechanical motion. These solenoids are of the axial stroke type and the rotary stroke type.Intended Use: Solenoids conforming to this specification are intended for use in direct or alternating current (single or multiphase) electrical systems. Their principle areas of application are aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and ground support equipment. This does not preclude the use of these solenoids in other military applications.
