Re: Solenoid from a car door, any car door: are they legal in 2016?

Paul,
First check for labeling on the device. It may just show current, we can work with that. The next thing would be to cross reference the device, somewhere there is likely a rating or an operational test that would indicate the actual current. I might even make a decision on current in use if all other avenues fail you. When I encouraged the GDC to adopt this in the rules, I referenced actuators that were in the then McMaster catalog.
