The Lee Company's sub-miniature latching solenoid valve is specifically designed for applications that demand ultra-low power, low heat and small size. 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 (10 ms) pulses of current to switch the state. It consumes only 2.8 milliwatt-sec per switch and has reliable bi-stable performance. Available in flexible plug-in, ported and face mount configurations, the valve measures just 1.12-in. long by 0.28-in. diameter for compact manifold applications. The latching valve also features a flow capacity of 6 slpm at 10 psig (1,100 Lohms) and a pressure range of 0-15 psig.
