Genuine AirTAC manifold solenoid valve, order code 6HV0520M5A050 from the 6HV range. The options this code selects are decoded below; series data follow the official AirTAC catalog.
The 20 in 6HV0520M5A050 makes this a double solenoid 5/2 valve: two coils on the same 0500-series M5 body remember the last command, so the spool stays in position on power loss instead of springing back, a useful behavior for clamps and gates that must not move if plant power drops. Its AC220V coils (voltage code A) draw 1.1 VA, tolerate AC +15% / -10% supply variation, and are class F insulated with a 0.5 m lead (050).
Flow is the 0500 series figure of 3.4 mm2 (Cv 0.2) through M5 supply and outlets, with pilot operation, a response of 0.05 s or less, and 0.15 to 0.8 MPa (21 to 114 psi) operation on air filtered to 40 um. The valve clips onto a DIN rail manifold with common supply and exhaust. AirTAC discontinued the 6HV series in January 2026 and has not named a replacement; request a quote with the order code so we can confirm whether it can still be supplied.

The choice against 6HV0510M5F050 comes down to behavior on power loss: this double solenoid holds its last position, while the 10 code springs back. The DC24V (B), AC110V (C) and DC12V (F) coil options replace the AC220V (A) coils used here, and lead code 200 gives 2.0 m instead of 0.5 m. Moving from 5/2 to 5/3 means the 30C closed, 30E exhaust or 30P pressure center codes with a 0.2 MPa minimum and 3 cycles/s, and the 100 series (code 1) lifts flow to 8.9 mm2 / Cv 0.52 if M5 is too small.
Because a double solenoid keeps its last state when power is cut, it suits clamping positions where a workpiece must stay gripped through a supply interruption.
A diverter or stopper gate driven by this valve remains in its commanded direction after a control outage, avoiding random product routing on restart.
The AC220V coils at 1.1 VA plug into standard 220 V control wiring, with the AC +15% / -10% tolerance absorbing everyday panel voltage swing.
0500 series body, M5 supply and outlets, 5/2 double solenoid that holds its position on power loss, flow 3.4 mm2 (Cv 0.2), operating pressure 0.15 to 0.8 MPa (21 to 114 psi), proof pressure 1.2 MPa (175 psi), temperature -20 to +70 C, AC220V coils at 1.1 VA with 0.5 m lead, plug-in connector, response 0.05 s or less, air filtered to 40 um.
No. AirTAC discontinued the 6HV series in January 2026 and has not named a replacement series. Request a quote with the order code 6HV0520M5A050 and we will confirm whether this exact valve can still be supplied.
