Solenoid valve for life science applications saves energy, generates less heat

The TenX Le low-energy solenoid valve is powered by pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit technology that consumes less power and generates less heat, important features for portable medical and analytical devices. The 10-mm design provides up to 22 lpm through a 0.060-in. orifice. The valve operates at up to 30 psi with a response time of 5 msec full cycle. Reliability is rated for 20 million cycles without performance degradation.

The miniaturized pulse and hold circuit is built into the 10mm valve package. The circuit function is also transparent to the application and does not require extra connectivity. The TenX Le can be used as a stand-alone valve with tube connections or in multistation manifold mount applications.
