Energy-saving magnetically latched solenoid valve

A new latching solenoid valve which is suitable for power-sensitive fluidic control in oil tool, aerospace and high performance automotive applications, or wherever control systems would benefit from reduced power consumption and lower heat generation, has been introduced by Lee Products. Unlike traditional solenoid valves which require continuous voltage to be activated from their natural state and therefore consume more energy, this magnetically latched design valve requires only a momentary pulse to switch and remain "˜in-state' (open or closed).
