These features make the valve ideal for compact, battery powered pneumatic instruments such as portable oxygen delivery systems, environmental gas samplers, and other OEM flow switching devices. The new valve is magnetically latched and requires only momentary (10ms) pulses of current to switch the state. It consumes only 2.8 milliwatt-sec per switch and has reliable bi-stable performance.
Available in plug-in, face mount and ported soft tube configurations, the valve measures just 1.12" long x 0.28" diameter for compact manifold applications. The latching valve also features a flow capacity of 6 slpm at 10 psig and a pressure range of 0-15 psig.
