1/4 Plastic water solenoid valve 0.2-10 Bar Latching 3105BB
£32.44
Description
1/4 inch WRAS latching / bi-stable water solenoid valve – RPE 3105BB
A low-power, WRAS approved latching solenoid valve designed for potable water applications where energy efficiency is critical. The RPE 3105BB operates using short pulse signals to open and close, requiring no continuous power to maintain position.
Valve function and operation
→ Function: 2/2 way latching / bi-stable
→ Operation: Pressure assisted (minimum 0.2 bar pressure differential required)
→ Port size: 1/4 BSP female
→ Orifice size: 11.0 mm
→ Kv flow factor: 25.81 L/min
(based on water with 1 bar pressure difference)
→ Control principle: Short power pulse to open, reverse polarity pulse to close
→ Maximum pulse duration: 20 milliseconds
Construction & materials
→ Body: Nylon white good grade 30% Glass Filled
→ Seals: NBR standard, option EPDM
→ Coil type: Latching / bi-stable
→ Power consumption: 2.25 W
→ Ingress protection: IP00
→ Electrical connection: Faston tags 6.3x0.8mm (option flying lead wires)
Voltage requirements
→ Nominal voltage: 6 V DC
→ Current draw: 375 mA
→ Pulse duration: 15 to 20 milliseconds
→ Voltage tolerance: Accepts 9 V DC and 12 V DC with reduced pulse duration
Operating principle
A short low-power pulse (approximately 15 ms) energises the internal magnet to open the valve and hold it open without continuous power.
A short reverse-polarity pulse (approximately 15 ms) cancels the magnetic field, closing the valve.
This process is repeated for each open and close cycle, significantly reducing overall power consumption.
