The AirTAC Airtac 4V200 Solenoid Valve 4V21008FI is a genuine 5/2-way single solenoid (spring return) solenoid valve with 21008FI ports and an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The 4V210-08FI is a single-solenoid, 5/2-way pneumatic directional valve built on the proven 4V200 body. It directs compressed air to one side of a double-acting cylinder while exhausting the other, requiring a constant DC12V signal to hold the shifted position. When power is removed, the internal spring returns the spool to its home state, making it a fail-to-home choice for basic extend-retract tasks.
This variant arrives with a grommet-style electrical entry—a 0.5 m flying lead that simplifies wiring into tight terminal boxes. The DC12V coil draws just 2.5 W and the spool responds in 0.05 s or less. With an effective area of 17.0 mm2 (Cv 1.0), it comfortably drives double-acting cylinders in the O32-50 mm bore range on general automation frames.

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.

Pulse a DC12V signal to swing a diverter gate via a 32-50 mm double-acting cylinder. The spring return ensures the gate resets to the default lane when the signal drops.
Drive the vertical stroke of a light pick-and-place unit. The 0.05 s response and 2.5 W coil suit compact end-of-arm tooling where low power draw and fast actuation matter.
Control a pneumatic clamp on an assembly jig. Energise to clamp, de-energise to release—the spring-return gives a predictable release when the operator clears the station.
Choose the 4V210-08FI when your control system runs on 12 V DC and you prefer a pre-wired grommet connection over a terminal box. The single-solenoid spring-return action is the standard pick for two-position cycles where the valve must default to a known state at E-stop or power loss. If your cylinder bore is below 25 mm, the smaller 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) may give a softer, more controllable stroke; for bores above 63 mm or for very fast cycle rates, stepping up to the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) reduces back-pressure.
When replacing an existing valve, match five points: the 4V200 body size, the 5/2 single-solenoid function (10), the 1/4-inch PT port, the DC12V coil voltage, and the grommet (I) electrical entry. For multi-valve stations, this body mounts directly onto a 4V200 manifold base, keeping plumbing tidy.
Quick checklist
With a 17.0 mm2 effective area (Cv 1.0), it suits double-acting cylinders roughly O32 to O50 mm bore in typical 0.4-0.7 MPa circuits. Smaller cylinders may overshoot; larger bores will move more slowly, and a 4V300 valve would be a better match.
It leaves the factory with a 0.5 m flying-lead wire set, not a connector. You wire the stripped leads directly into your control cabinet or attach the DIN connector of your choice. The DC12V coil draws 2.5 W, so a standard 0.5 mm² cable is sufficient.
