So I have a 4013 NAND trying to pull a solenoid. I think what happened is I pulled too much current from the output? My inexperience with transistors.
I need to pull a 12 volt solenoid with a 28 ohm cable. I think this means I need 12/28=428 ma of current. So I chose a transistor 2N3053 which should give Ic of 700ma. so far so good?
I'm not sure that I understand Hfe gain issue. Can you provide some insight on how to make my NAND gate that only gives about 5 ma drive this solenoid?
Thanks!
