Miniature Electromagnets

[Kayto]

Hello,
I'm searching for either a solenoid or an electro-magnet. The kicker is that I'm looking for a 0.25 diameter actuator. I only need to pull about a gram over 1 millimeter.
Preferably something I can mount to a circuit board.


Thanks,
Kayto

No, I'm talking really small solenoids. Thank you for the link, but I'm looking for something special, something I haven't found by web searching.
The 0.25" OD is the absolute upper limit in size. I'd be happy with a standard electromagnet that was 0.188" in diameter.

Anyone out there heard of something pretty unique?

Thanks,
Kayto

What you are looking for is similar in size to the pin drivers on a dot-matrix printer. The manufacturers of these built their own solenoid coils.

Ah! Dot matrix. That's the scale I'm tlaking about.
We are lokoing into making our own coils, too, but would obviously rather not.

Thanks,
Kayto
