Overview
The SMC AV3000-N03-5DZ solenoid valve is a soft start-up valve engineered for controlled system initialization and safe equipment servicing. When deactivated, the valve quickly exhausts the system to allow safe servicing without applying full pneumatic pressure. This modular design integrates seamlessly with SMC FRL (filter-regulator-lubricator) components and pneumatic automation systems across industries including manufacturing, automotive, and packaging.
Key Features
- Soft Start-up Function: Gradually applies pressure during system initialization, reducing shock and wear on downstream components.
- 24VDC Solenoid: Direct electrical control with DIN connector terminal and integrated surge voltage suppressor for coil protection.
- Indicator Light: Built-in status indicator for quick solenoid activation verification.
- Modular Connectivity: Body-ported design compatible with SMC manifold systems and FRL components.
- 3/8″ NPT Port: Standard industrial threading for easy integration into existing pneumatic networks.
