Overview
The Parker SS40103701 is a compact, direct-acting 3-way solenoid-operated directional control valve engineered for general industrial pneumatic applications. This Parker pneumatic solenoid valve operates across 20–150 PSIG with a 120V AC coil, delivering responsive valve actuation in space-constrained installations. The 3/8-inch NPT port configuration supports standard threaded manifold and inline mounting, making it suitable for cylinder control, pilot circuits, and air-logic sequencing systems.
Key Features
- 3-Way, Direct-Acting Spool Design: Provides two-position control for normally open or normally closed applications with manual override capability.
- 7.2W Solenoid Coil: Low power consumption 120V AC coil for integration with standard industrial control circuits and PLCs.
- Wide Pressure Range: Rated 20–150 PSIG, accommodating both low-flow and moderate-flow pneumatic systems.
- 3/8-Inch NPT Ports: Standard U.S. pipe thread for seamless connection to manifolds, tubing, and cylinders.
- Compact Footprint: Ideal for integrated valve stacks and pneumatic manifold assemblies.
