Electrical Sub-Base

Hello!
We have recently received from First Choice 4 Festo solenoids without their electronics. We were looking for the electric sub-bases for these solenoids (the little black connectors which are mounted in the sides of the solenoids and have the cables to operate it).
We called Festo in Israel and they don't have the regular sub-bases which work only with 24V (part number 566716) but instead those who work with 24V AND 12V (part number 566714).
The only thing that we're not sure about is the fact that they have a current reduction and we don't know how that might affect the solenoids.

Did anybody else encounter this problem? Will the lower current run the solenoids fine?

Thanks a bunch,
Yiftach from Team 3316, D-Bug, Israel.
