A new ultra-miniature, high density interface (HDI) two-port latching solenoid valve has been released from Lee Products.
The valves are well-suited for OEM applications demanding ultra-low energy consuming components that generate minimal heat and are as compact as possible.
They weigh less than 2.5g and measure at 27mm x 7.1mm, which results in smaller manifolds.
For example, the HDI two-port…
