The AirTAC AirTAC 4V330P-08 Solenoid Valve, 4V300 Series (4V330P08E-W) is a genuine 5/3-way 5/3 double solenoid — exhaust center solenoid valve with W ports and an effective area of 21.3 mm² (Cv 1.25). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The 4V330P08E-W is a 5/3-way double-solenoid valve with a pressure-centre spool: when both coils are off, ports A and B stay pressurised while the exhaust is blocked, so a double-acting cylinder under O50-80 mm bores keeps air applied to both sides at mid-position. It switches on a 1/4" PT tapered port size and belongs to the 4V300 flow class, with an effective area of 21.3 mm2 (Cv 1.25) and a maximum cycling rate of 3 cycles per second.
This -W variant is the external-pilot build: pilot air is supplied through a dedicated external pilot port rather than tapped internally from the main line, so spool shifting stays dependable on low main pressure or vacuum-side circuits. The AC24V coil draws 5.0 VA and lands on a terminal box for fixed wiring, and the valve also offers a response time of 0.05 s or better, IP65 protection and a 450 g aluminium body.

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.

Pressure-centre behaviour keeps air applied to both cylinder chambers between pulses, so a clamping cylinder resists back-driving in either direction while the coils sit idle.
Double-solenoid memory plus pressurised centre gives machine builders a compact 1/4" valve for short-stroke pneumatic grippers and tool clamps on automated stations.
The -W external pilot takes its shifting signal from a separate port, letting the valve switch dependably where main-line pressure is too low for internally piloted valves.
Choose this valve when your cylinder needs both chambers held under pressure at centre, for example to oppose movement from either direction; pick the 30C closed centre instead if you want all ports blocked, or the 30E exhaust centre to let the cylinder float. Size check: 4V300 delivers Cv 1.25 here - step down to the 4V200 (Cv 1.0) for smaller bores or up to the 4V400 (Cv 2.82) for larger ones. The -W external pilot is the right call whenever main-line pressure dips too low for an internal pilot tap to shift the spool reliably.
Ordering a replacement? Match all five points: 4V300 body size, 5/3 pressure-centre function, 1/4" port with PT thread, AC24V coil, and terminal-box entry - plus the -W external-pilot option. The valve can also be stacked on a manifold base to build an integrated valve group.
Quick checklist
It is rated for double-acting cylinders and actuators, ideally in the O50-80 mm bore range. Flow capacity is 21.3 mm2 effective area (Cv 1.25) with a 3 cycle/second maximum frequency, and the response time is 0.05 s or less. It is not suitable for single-acting cylinders, which need a 3/2-way valve.
The -W build feeds pilot air from an external port instead of the internal supply tap, so the spool still shifts reliably on low-pressure or vacuum-side circuits where an internally piloted valve may fail to actuate. Otherwise it shares the same AC24V coil (5.0 VA), terminal entry, 1/4" PT ports and 450 g 4V300 body.
