Overview
The ASCO U8325B005V sub-miniature solenoid valve is a compact, direct-acting pneumatic valve engineered for precise air flow control. Built to ASCO’s quality standards, this valve delivers dependable performance in applications requiring a small footprint with minimal power consumption. The U8325B005V operates with clean, dry air or inert gases and is widely used in laboratory equipment, analytical instruments, and OEM systems where space efficiency is critical.
Key Features
- Compact sub-miniature design — fits tight mounting spaces in control cabinets and OEM enclosures
- Direct-acting solenoid mechanism — fast response time with minimal hysteresis
- Low power consumption — efficient operation reduces electrical load on control systems
- Normally closed (NC) configuration — returns to closed state when de-energized for fail-safe operation
- Durable construction — stainless hardware and robust elastomer seals for consistent performance
- CSA and UL recognized component — meets safety standards for industrial equipment
