A mini solenoid valve is a small electrically operated valve that opens or closes a fluid pathway when an electrical current is applied to a solenoid coil. The solenoid creates a magnetic field when energized, which moves a plunger or armature to actuate the valve, allowing fluid (gas or liquid) to flow through the valve or blocking it. Unlike traditional manual valves, a mini solenoid valve offers the convenience of automated control, making it a vital component in automated systems.

    How Does It Work?

    The operation of a mini solenoid valve is straightforward. The solenoid coil is powered by electricity, which generates a magnetic field that pulls or pushes a plunger. This action opens or closes the valve depending on the design of the valve. There are typically two types of mini solenoid valves： normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC).
