6V 2-Position 3-Way Air Valve for Arduino

The 6V 2-Position 3-Way Air Valve is a compact electronic solenoid valve designed for controlling gas flow in automated setups. It operates similarly to a relay to redirect airflow or act as an on/off switch, making it ideal for makers and students building custom pneumatics, inflation equipment, or compression projects.

Versatile three-port switching

The valve features a common (COM), normally open (NO), and normally closed (NC) interface. Applying or cutting power to the valve determines which port routes through to the common interface, allowing you to easily alter airflow direction or toggle lines.

Built for pneumatic projects

Engineered for gas mediums, this valve is well-suited for micro-pneumatic setups, hydraulic projects, and inflation equipment. It provides a simple electronic interface for directing air streams in DIY and automation designs.

Low-power electrical design

Operating at a nominal 6V DC, the valve draws a rated current of 100±10% mA with a DC impedance of 60±10% ohms. With a total power consumption of just 0.6W, it is easy to drive from standard low-power microcontroller circuitry.

Pressure and nozzle specifications

Fitted with a 3.0mm (0.12 inch) outer diameter air nozzle, the valve supports a maximum pressure of 40KPa (300mmHg). The unit weighs only 15g, keeping overall project assemblies lightweight and compact.

What is included

Each pack includes one 6V 2-Position 3-Way Air Valve ready to integrate into your gas control circuit.
