With Data East, they do not use a traditional EOS switch. What they do is after 40ms the High Voltage kicks off. Here is what is says on a technical site.
DataEast was the first company to use solidstate flippers. The solidstate design again used a single winding coil (instead of the traditional two windings, one for high voltage, and one for low voltage hold). A solidstate version of the Deger design, the single winding coil had different voltages for the initial power and the flipper hold (only one diode, a 1N4004 voltage snubbing diode, is used). When the flipper button was pressed, 50 volts DC is directed to the single winding flipper coil. After a short duration (40 milli-seconds, which is not variable), the high power is turned off and 9 volts is left to hold the flipper coil. The lower 9 volts allows the flipper button to be held, without burning the flipper coil. Note this is different than the solidstate flipper system used by Williams; which used two separate flipper coil windings (a high and low voltage winding) to achieve this.
There were some complaints that the new solidstate DataEast flippers didn't have the same feel as a traditional EOS (End Of Stroke) system flippers. This was because DataEast/Sega's design had a fixed timing (40 milliseconds) for the high voltage. On an EOS switch dependant flipper, the flippers react to the EOS switch, and turn off the high voltage accordingly.
