The valves weigh less than 2.5g and measure 27 x 7.1mm resulting in smaller manifolds. For example, the HDI 2-port, NC SOV offers a 7.62mm centre-to-centre spacing, reducing the area needed for a given number of valves, which means less space and valuable cost savings.
Available as a plug-in or face mount option the valves have an internal volume of 28µL for the plug-in and 34µL for the face mount which allows for faster purging and throughput. They have an operating pressure range of inlet: Vac – 45psig, a differential of 10psid and a leakage of less than 50SµL/min at 10psid.
They have an operating temperature range of 4 to 49°C and require 10 to 30ms pulses of current to switch to and remain in each state with the polarity of voltage on each terminal pins controlling the switched position.
Other benefits include a life expectancy of up to 250 million cycles depending on the seal material and application parameters, repeatability, high flow capabilities in a small package and sealing performance which equates to both weight and size savings.
