The PDR-2 is a high-power solenoid actuator built to release stubborn door or trunk latches. It delivers 35 lbs of pulling force over 3/4 in of travel and mounts vertically or horizontally in nearly any location. The kit ships with a relay and a heavy-duty, water-resistant switch so the high-current solenoid can be triggered by a lower-current switch or a remote entry system.
Specifications:
- Function: door / trunk / power lock solenoid actuator
