The AirTAC Airtac B03-4V Explosion-Proof Solenoid Valve B03-4V330C08A is a genuine 5/2-way solenoid valve solenoid valve with 330C08A ports and an effective area of See datasheet (Cv —). It is an internally piloted spool valve that directs compressed air to double-acting cylinders and actuators.
The B03-4V330C08A is AirTAC's explosion-proof build of the 4V330C-08A, a 5/3-way closed-center solenoid valve designed for double-acting cylinders and actuators in potentially hazardous atmospheres. The leading "B03-" prefix identifies this as the explosion-proof version, so you can specify it with confidence for flammable environments where a standard valve would be unsafe.
This valve directs compressed air to one cylinder port while exhausting the other; at center, both work ports are blocked, locking the cylinder in position. It delivers a 21.3 mm² effective area (Cv 1.25) and suits ~O50-80 mm bore cylinders. The AC220V coil draws 4.5 VA, response time is ≤0.05 s, and the aluminum-alloy body weighs 450 g. Because it is the explosion-proof build, confirm the exact protection rating and certification for your specific zone with us before ordering.

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.

Hold workpieces securely during milling or drilling operations. The closed center locks the clamp cylinder in place, preventing movement even if air pressure fluctuates.
Control valve actuators in areas where flammable vapors may be present. The explosion-proof build reduces ignition risk while the 5/3 closed-center function provides fail-safe positioning.
Stop a press ram at an intermediate point with the closed-center function. Both cylinder ports are blocked, holding the ram steady until the next command is given.
Choose the B03-4V330C08A when you need a 5/3 closed-center valve with explosion-proof construction for a double-acting cylinder in the O50-80 mm bore range. The closed center holds the cylinder firmly when both solenoids are off, making it ideal for intermediate positioning or emergency stops where drift is unacceptable. If your cylinder is smaller, the 4V200 series (Cv 1.0) may be more economical; for larger bores, step up to the 4V400 (Cv 2.82).
For replacement, match the 4V300 body, the 5/3 closed-center function, the 1/4" PT ports, the AC220V coil, and the terminal-box electrical entry. If you need a different thread (G or NPT) or a grommet lead, confirm the exact explosion-proof variant with us, as the B03- build may have specific enclosure requirements.
Quick checklist
B03- is AirTAC's designation for the explosion-proof version of the base model 4V330C-08A. It is built for use in hazardous or flammable atmospheres. The exact protection rating and certification depend on your zone, so please confirm those details with us before installation.
In the center position, both solenoids are de-energized and all ports are blocked. This locks the connected double-acting cylinder in place, preventing any movement. Energizing one solenoid or the other shifts the spool to extend or retract the cylinder.
