Thanks for all the info, this place is a godsend sometimes :site:
I'm already using an interposing relay to drive the solenoid, I'm just more worried about the effect on my other electronics when the solenoids switch on and off (well, mostly off). And to a lesser extent, the relay - as much as the whole idea of an interposing relay is for it to be the sacrificial lamb, I still prefer not to blow them up unnecessarily
I did find the plugs with the built in suppression last night - and on further reading it looks like they're an optional extra for this solenoid, but I didn't pick up on it in time, and I probably don't have time now to get them ordered. But maybe I'll order a few anyway, to retrofit if we have any issues or just to have on hand for next time.
Thanks again!
