The 6V 2-Position 3-Way Air Valve is a solenoid-driven pneumatic valve for controlling air flow direction in pneumatic systems. Like a relay, it features three interfaces: a common port (COM), a normally open port (NO), and a normally closed port (NC). Powering the valve on or off determines which port connects to the common interface.
The valve can be used to switch air flow direction, act as an on/off valve, or control simple pneumatic actuators. It operates at 6V and draws approximately 100 mA, making it easy to drive from a microcontroller with a transistor or MOSFET.
Key Features
