For an AC or DC load you can use 4/6 as output, with 4 on +12V, 6 on=20 solenoid and other end of solenoid on ground. Or vice-versa, 6 on +12=20 and 4 on solenoid. For DC load, you can use both mosfets in paralel with 4 and 6 on=20 solenoid and 5 on ground. Or, for DC load, you can use 4 OR 6 conected on solenoid and 5 on ground. The minimal current on led is 5mA, and the 750ohm resistor is OK.
