Guys, A follow up. Can anyone help with specifying the power rating or reverse current on the zener diode? I do not know the inductance of the solenoid but I do know the hold current and resistance of the coil.

First off, thanks everyone for the replies! I attached screenshots of the data plots illustrating my issue. Now down to business after reading the replies some additional information that would help flesh out the problem further: 1) You guys already hit on this but I will state it here for the...
