Overview
MAC 42A-AMA-000-GAAP-1DD Solenoid Valve
The MAC 42A-AMA-000-GAAP-1DD is a 4-way, 2-position solenoid valve from MAC Valves Inc., engineered for demanding pneumatic control applications. This pilot-operated spool valve features a compact 10mm body with integral 4-way pilot design, delivering consistent high flow and repeatable response times across varying inlet pressures. Rated 120VAC and consuming only 2.5W, this valve is suitable for process automation, material handling, packaging, and industrial machinery control.
Key Features
- Pilot-Operated Spool Design: Low minimum operating pressure with no pistons, reducing resistance and wear.
- Integral 4-Way Pilot: Balanced pilot design maintains consistent shifting forces regardless of pressure fluctuations.
- Muffled Pilot Exhaust: Integrated muffling reduces system noise during operation.
- Non-Locking Manual Override: Recessed manual operator enables field actuation and emergency manual control.
- High Flow Capacity: 10mm spool body provides excellent flow rates for medium-duty applications.
- Low Power Consumption: 120VAC, 2.5W coil rated for energy-efficient operation.
