The AirTAC AirTAC 4V130C-06C Solenoid Valve, 5/3-way, closed center, PT1/8, AC110V, terminal entry (4V130C06C) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — closed center solenoid valve with 130C06C ports and an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The 4V130C-06C is a compact 5/3-way pneumatic solenoid valve from the AirTAC 4V100 series, configured with a closed center spool and an AC110V coil. When both solenoids are de-energized, all ports are blocked, which hydraulically locks a double-acting cylinder in its current position—ideal for holding a load during a power interruption or mid-cycle pause. This model uses a terminal box electrical entry and standard PT (Rc) tapered threads on its 1/8-inch ports.
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51) and a maximum cycling frequency of 3 cycles per second, this valve is sized for small-bore cylinders approximately Ø16-32 mm in compact automation cells. The sliding-column spool design delivers a response time of 0.05 seconds or less, and the AC110V coil draws 3.5 VA. The aluminum alloy body weighs 200 g and is rated IP65 for dust and water resistance.

Size the valve so effective area / Cv is not the bottleneck for your cylinder bore and speed. Undersized valves slow the actuator. Note 5/3 (center) versions have a smaller effective area than the 5/2 of the same body size.

Holds a pneumatic clamp closed on a workpiece during a machining cycle. The closed center prevents the clamp from releasing if air pressure is lost, keeping the part secure.
Stops a dispensing head precisely over a target. The valve blocks the cylinder ports at center, freezing the Z-axis position for accurate, repeatable fluid placement.
Controls a small gripper on a pick-and-place arm. The 5/3 center holds a delicate vial without continuous air consumption, preventing crushing or dropping during transport.
Choose the 4V130C-06C when your application requires a small 1/8-inch ported valve that can stop and hold a double-acting cylinder at mid-stroke. The closed-center function is a direct fit for clamping, pressing, or vertical lifting tasks where drift is unacceptable during an emergency stop. If your cylinder is larger than Ø32 mm or you need a faster cycle rate, consider stepping up to the 4V200 series, which provides a higher Cv of 1.0 for greater flow.
For a precise drop-in replacement, match five key points: the 4V100 body size, the 5/3 closed-center (30C) function, the 1/8-inch port size with PT thread, an AC110V coil, and the terminal box electrical entry. If you are building a multi-valve assembly, this unit mounts directly onto a 4V100 manifold base, simplifying plumbing and reducing the total footprint of your pneumatic panel.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 8.6 mm² (Cv 0.51), this valve is best matched to double-acting cylinders with a bore of approximately 16 to 32 mm. It provides sufficient flow for smooth, controlled actuation in small automation tasks without oversizing the valve.
When both solenoids are de-energized, the spool moves to its center position and blocks pressure, exhaust, and both cylinder ports. This traps air on both sides of the piston, holding the cylinder and its load in place. For critical suspended loads, always add a pilot-operated check valve as a safety backup.
