Hi,
I have a control unit which I want to use to switch a Hydraulic Solenoid. unfortunately the available switch in the control unit is momentary and I need the output to latch (so that I don't need to keep my finger on the button all the time) I had considered using a flip-flop to do this but I need to use a 24V supply. Are there any Flip flops which can take 24V? the highest I can find is 18V. I intend to use a relay to work the solenoid so the current rating is not important. I could use a volt reg to drop the voltage to a manageable level but I need this circuit to be as small (and simple) as possible. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?
If the control lunit wasn't sealed, I'd change the switch but I don't want to break the seals.
