Overview
The MAC 46A-AA1-JDE0-1KA is a precision 4-way solenoid-actuated poppet valve engineered for demanding pneumatic control applications. This compact valve combines fast response times with reliable operation in industrial automation, machinery controls, and process equipment. The 46 series features MAC’s patented high-force solenoid technology and balanced poppet design for consistent, repeatable performance across a wide pressure range.
Key Features
- 4-way, 2-position single solenoid configuration with spring return (monostable)
- Direct-acting solenoid poppet valve with balanced poppet for high flow and precision
- High-force MACSOLENOID for fastest response times and high cycle rate capability
- 1/8″ NPTF threaded female pneumatic ports for individual inline installation
- 24VDC solenoid with 2.4W rating, male mini plug-in DIN 43650 connector
- Rated for vacuum to +120 psi operating pressure range
- Manual override (recessed) for emergency operation
- Compact dimensions: 45mm H × 27mm W × 71mm D
- Suitable for lube or non-lube pneumatic service
