JDMSPEED 60 lb Solenoid Popper Kit — 60-Pound Door/Trunk/Hood Pull, Compact Mounting Kit with Button

JDMSPEED's 60-pound solenoid kit is a compact electric popper engineered to open stubborn doors, trunks and hoods with up to 60 lb of pulling force.

This compact kit delivers an electric pull strong enough for street rod panels, aftermarket trunk lids and custom hatches where factory latches are tight or hard to reach. The package contains the solenoid, a momentary button switch, wiring and a mounting bracket so you can add remote or dash-activated popping action without bulky hardware. A printed instruction sheet is included to guide basic installation and alignment.

How does the JDMSPEED 60lb solenoid perform on heavy or stiff latches?

The solenoid produces a concentrated linear pull rated at 60 pounds, designed to give a decisive single-stage yank on latches and striker pins. It’s built for intermittent duty such as popping open a trunk or hood rather than continuous operation.

• 60 lb rated pulling force for strong, immediate actuation
• Compact housing to fit behind trim or under panels
• Metal bracket included for secure mounting and alignment
• Simple electrical hookup compatible with a single-button switch

What comes in the kit and what tools are required to install it?

The kit includes the solenoid unit, a momentary push-button switch, wiring and a mounting bracket, plus a printed instruction sheet. Typical installation requires basic hand tools, a drill or screw driver for mounting, and simple electrical skills to connect power, ground and the switch.

• 1 x 60 lb solenoid, 1 x button switch, wire and mounting bracket
• Printed installation sheet for step-by-step guidance
• Tools typically needed: screwdriver, drill, wire stripper/crimper, basic multimeter
• Recommended: test-fit the bracket before final mounting to ensure alignment

Can this popper be used with aftermarket remotes or integrated into custom builds?

Yes — the solenoid’s wiring and button switch make it straightforward to integrate with a remote relay or custom control circuit. Use an appropriate relay or controller when connecting to aftermarket alarm or remote systems to protect switches from high current.

• Compatible with aftermarket relays and remote actuators (use relay for higher current setups)
• Wire leads allow connection to car battery, switch, or external controller
• Mount the bracket and align plunger travel to the latch or striker for reliable operation
• Not intended for continuous-duty pulling; designed for momentary actuation only

How durable and secure is the JDMSPEED solenoid for automotive use?

The solenoid is manufactured for reliable, repeated short actuations and shipped after inspection to help ensure quality. Its metal bracket and compact body provide a robust mounting point; weather protection will depend on positioning and additional sealing in exposed areas.

• Constructed with metal components and sealed electromechanical internals for intermittent duty
• Quality-checked before shipping to reduce defects out of the box
• For exposed installations, add grommets or silicone sealant to protect wiring and terminals
• Follow manufacturer instructions to avoid overheating from prolonged activation

Who this kit is for: hobbyists, custom car builders and street-rod owners who need a compact, powerful actuator to pop tight doors, hoods or trunks. It’s ideal for installers who want a straightforward, low-cost solenoid solution that integrates with dash switches or aftermarket remote systems. If you require continuous or high-duty cycling, consider a solenoid rated specifically for that service; for single-shot opening tasks, this 60 lb unit offers a strong, space-efficient option.
