Re: Solenoid Breakout Voltage for Pneumatics Question

The Solenoid Breakout we got says it is only rated for 18V. We know that the solenoid requires 24V but at the same time we don't want to fry the Breakout board.

Currently we have a custom pair of relays wired to the 24V terminal on the PDB running to the solenoids and it works, but we don't think that it is legal.

Is it okay to run the Breakout on 24V even though it claims on the board itself that it is rated for 18V?
