Re: Electrical Sub-Base

The current reduction is a power-saving feature that reduces the power used by the coil once it has been activated. You should have no problem with them in your robot installation. Activation power is listed as 1 watt and then .35 watt to maintain the coil. This has a big effect when there are a hundred solenoids in use at a process control application. In your case the biggest advantage is that you will be able to get the solenoids to work.
