What voltage are pneumatic solenoid valves?

Pneumatic solenoid valves are available in various voltage options to suit different applications and power systems. The most common voltage ratings are:

Low Voltage DC Options:

1. 12V DC:

   • Commonly used in automotive, battery-powered systems, and portable equipment.
   • Suitable for low-power, compact systems.

2. 24V DC:

   • Widely used in industrial automation, robotics, and control systems.
   • Provides a balance between power efficiency and electromagnetic force.

High Voltage AC Options:

1. 110V/120V AC:

   • Used in household and commercial applications in countries with 110V standard power supplies.
   • Common in HVAC systems and general-purpose industrial equipment.

2. 220V/230V AC:

   • Used in countries with 220V power supply standards.
   • Suitable for industrial and heavy-duty equipment.

Special Voltage Options:

• 48V DC: Used in telecommunications and specific industrial environments.
• 5V/9V DC: Occasionally used in microcontroller-based or sensitive electronic systems.
• 380V AC: Rarely used but available for heavy-duty industrial applications requiring high power.

Selection Criteria:

When selecting the voltage for a pneumatic solenoid valve:

1. System Compatibility: Ensure the voltage matches the available power supply.
2. Safety Considerations: Low voltage (e.g., 12V or 24V DC) is safer for operators and is common in control systems.
3. Application Requirements: Higher voltage (e.g., 110V/220V AC) is suitable for high-power or industrial applications.

Universal Options:

Some solenoid valves are equipped with universal coils that can work with a range of voltages or are interchangeable, allowing for flexibility in various setups. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure proper operation.
