Miniature Manual Reset Latching Solenoid
A small latching solenoid that had to be manually latched.
The miniature manual reset latching solenoid was used in a vehicle airbag inflation system. The armature was held in the latched position by a permanent magnet without drawing any current and was released by a short current pulse. Because this solenoid was part of a vehicle safety system, it had to be manually reset by a technician after activation.

Controlling Airbag Inflation with a Solenoid
TLX Technologies designed a miniature manual reset latching solenoid for a vehicle airbag system.
Our engineers begin by designing with 3D CAD and performing electromagnetic and fluid dynamic analysis with state-of-the-art finite element analysis software. Every design is engineered and tested in our lab to meet our customers’ specifications.
Increased Performance
Precise control with high accuracy through tighter tolerances. Reducing friction and inefficiencies provides extremely low hysteresis.
Lighter Weight
Multiple variables in the design and manufacturing process are optimized to reduce overall weight and size of the solenoid or valve.
Minimized Footprint
Custom solenoids can be designed to utilize the best control scheme for your application, resulting in a minimized footprint.
Limited Power Consumption
Latching technology in solenoid and valve design minimizes overall power consumption.
Extreme Environments
Can be designed to meet extreme environments that include moisture, dirt/dust, vibration and/or extreme temperature requirements.
Built-in Safety
Failsafe modes are designed into solenoids and valves utilizing integrated electronic controls.
