Mouse Coil Solenoid

he Mouse Coil Solenoid is a compact, low-voltage linear actuator designed for use in interactive amusement systems, especially those involving quick, repeated striking or popping motions—such as “Hit the Mouse” or “Whack-a-Frog” arcade-style game kits. Housed in a durable, child-friendly plastic casing with a cartoon mouse motif, this unit serves both as an actuator and a decorative mechanical element.

This solenoid operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where electric current through the copper coil generates a magnetic field that drives a core plunger in or out, depending on circuit configuration. The result is a linear push-pull motion, suitable for animating a character, target, or surface in response to user interaction or programmed game logic.
