Overview
The MAC 411A-A0A-DM-DFFJ-1KJ solenoid valve is a 4-way, 5/2 directional control spool valve designed for pneumatic system actuation in industrial automation. Rated for 20–120 PSI operation, this 24VDC solenoid-pilot-operated valve provides precise directional control for cylinders and pneumatic motors. MAC’s 400 Series delivers fast response times with internal pilot air operation, making it ideal for manufacturing, packaging, and motion control applications.
Key Features
- 4-Way, 5/2 Configuration — Provides forward, neutral (center-to-tank), and reverse flow paths for bidirectional actuator control
- 24VDC, 2.4W Solenoid — Low-wattage DC coil with indicator light; operates without external pilot supply
- Internal Pilot Air — Self-piloting design leverages system pressure for smooth spool shifts
- 1/8″ NPTF Ports — Standard ported connection (5 stations: P, T, A, B, X) for inline mounting
- Non-Locking Manual Override — Recessed manual operator allows emergency directional actuation without electrical input
- Compact, Lightweight Design — Only 0.30 lbs; fits confined panel and manifold spaces
