About the AirTAC 4V420-15C Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/2, AC110V, terminal entry (4V42015C)
The AirTAC 4V420-15C is a 5/2-way double-solenoid pneumatic valve built on the largest 4V body size, directing compressed air to double-acting cylinders and rotary actuators. Its memory function means the spool stays in its last pulsed position when power is removed—no spring return, no holding current required. This specific model is configured with an AC110V coil drawing 4.5 VA and a PT (Rc tapered) thread on its 1/2-inch ports.
With a substantial effective area of 48.0 mm² (Cv 2.82) and a response time of 0.05 seconds or below, the 4V420-15C suits driving cylinders in the ~Ø80-125 mm range. The aluminum-alloy body weighs 720 g, operates on a 0.15-0.8 MPa pilot pressure, and carries an IP65 protection rating, making it a robust choice for demanding industrial sequences.

Where the AirTAC 4V420-15C Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/2, AC110V, terminal entry (4V42015C) Is Used
Large Part Ejectors
Controls a powerful blast of air to eject heavy or bulky parts from a conveyor. The memory function holds the valve open for a set duration without continuous coil power, reducing energy use in high-cycle sorting systems.
Hydraulic-Pneumatic Press Interlocks
Directs a large-bore clamping cylinder on a press. The double-solenoid memory ensures the clamp stays engaged if a control power dropout occurs, though a pilot-operated check valve is still recommended for suspended load safety.
Truck Hopper Gate Actuation
Operates a double-acting gate cylinder on a bulk material hopper. The AC110V coil integrates easily into common facility power, and the valve's memory holds the gate in its last commanded position during transport.
Is the AirTAC 4V420-15C Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/2, AC110V, terminal entry (4V42015C) the Right Valve?
Choose the 4V420-15C when your application needs a 5/2 valve that must hold its last state without consuming electrical power—ideal for energy-sensitive or intermittent-duty circuits. The double-solenoid memory design eliminates the heat buildup of a continuously energized coil. For smaller cylinders around Ø50-63 mm, stepping down to a 4V300 series valve (Cv 1.65) often provides a better match and faster cycle times.
When replacing an existing valve, verify all five points: the 4V400 body size, the 20 (double-solenoid) function, the 1/2-inch port with PT thread, the AC110V coil voltage, and the terminal-box electrical entry. If you need still greater flow than this largest 4V body offers, consider a manifolded group or a larger valve series.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required flow (Cv) for cylinder & speed
- ✓ Function: single / double / 5-3 center
- ✓ Coil voltage (DC24 / AC220 …)
- ✓ Port thread (M5 / 1/8 / 1/4 / 3/8 / 1/2)
- ✓ Single valve or manifold base?
Installation & Wiring Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 0.8 MPa operating pressure.
- check Match coil voltage to your controller output.
- check Use the manual override to test before powering.
- check Fit silencers or fittings to the exhaust ports.
- check Wiring by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
AirTAC 4V420-15C Solenoid Valve, 5/2-way, PT1/2, AC110V, terminal entry (4V42015C) FAQ
With a Cv of 2.82 and an effective area of 48.0 mm², it is sized for double-acting cylinders in the ~Ø80-125 mm range. It provides ample flow for rapid actuation of large clamps, gates, and presses without excessive pressure drop.
The spool is shifted by a momentary pulse to either coil and stays in that position through balanced pressure and land friction—no spring or holding current is used. While it holds position on power loss, it is not a safety device. For critical load-holding, always add a pilot-operated check valve or mechanical brake at the cylinder.
