The AirTAC AirTAC 4V220-08EI Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/4, AC24V, grommet entry (4V22008EI) is a genuine 5/2-way double solenoid (memory) solenoid valve with 22008EI 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 4V220-08EI is a 5/2-way double-solenoid valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators with a memory-hold function. When you pulse the coil, the spool shifts and stays in that last commanded position even if power is completely removed—held by land friction and balanced pressure, with no spring to move it and no holding current required.
This model comes pre-wired with a 0.5 m flying lead through a DIN-style grommet entry and operates on an AC24V coil drawing 5.0 VA. Built on the 4V200 aluminum-alloy body, it delivers an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0) and suits cylinders in the ~Ø32-50 mm range. Response time is 0.05 s or below, and the IP65-rated enclosure handles washdown environments with confidence.

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.

The memory-hold function keeps a diverter gate in its last pulsed position during a line stop, so product flow resumes correctly without a re-homing sequence.
Pulse the coil to clamp a part and the 4V220-08EI holds pressure on the cylinder even when the machine controller powers down, preventing workpiece release.
Drives double-acting cylinders on safety gates or access panels. The AC24V grommet wiring simplifies installation where low-voltage control circuits are preferred.
Choose the 4V220-08EI when your application needs a valve that remembers its position through an E-stop or power cycle without a spring return. For smaller cylinders around Ø20-25 mm, stepping down to the 4V100 series (Cv 0.6) saves space and air; for larger bores above Ø63 mm or faster cycle rates, the 4V300 (Cv 1.65) provides the extra flow capacity you need.
When replacing an existing valve, match all five points: body size (4V200), function (double-solenoid 5/2), port size and thread (1/4" PT), coil voltage (AC24V), and electrical entry (grommet with flying lead). If you are building a multi-valve station, this body mounts directly onto a 4V200 manifold base for a clean, integrated assembly.
Quick checklist
With an effective area of 17.0 mm² (Cv 1.0), it is well-matched to double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø32-50 mm range. It provides crisp, full-stroke actuation at up to 5 cycles per second for general industrial tasks.
No—the spool holds its position on loss of electrical power, but if supply air pressure drops, the cylinder can drift. The hold is purely mechanical (spool friction and pressure balance), not magnetic latching. For suspended-load safety, add a pilot-operated check valve at the cylinder ports.
