FIM

15 mm - Model LTC

15 mm - Model LTC

FIM Valvole offers a comprehensive lineup of 15 mm miniature solenoid valves designed for applications where space is limited but high flow rates and reliability are required.

The LTC or Latching valve is designed for applications requiring constant temperature control. They require zero power consumption to maintain their state, which prevents overheating.

Ardee Hi-Tech Pvt. Ltd. is the official and authorized distributor of FIM 15 mm miniature solenoid valves – Model LTC in India.

General Specifications

Bistable & Latching Mechanics

  • Operating Principle: A short voltage pulse switches the internal plunger position. An integrated permanent magnet holds the plunger securely in place without drawing power.
  • State Reversal: Changing the valve back to its original state requires a second brief electrical pulse at reversed polarity (or via a separate coil connection).
  • Thermal Management: Operating with zero holding current means there is no overheating or thermal emission, making it perfect for temperature-sensitive fluids or gases.

Coil & Configuration Architecture

  • Coil Interface Design: Available in two distinct electrical variants depending on your control electronics:
  • Single Traditional Coil: Governed by reversing the current polarity (+/- to -/+) across two wires.
  • Double Coil (Three-Contact System): Features three pins where a pulse to pin A-B opens the valve, and a pulse to pin B-C closes it.
  • Insulation Profile: Wound with high-performance Class H copper wire rated up to 180°C.
  • Encapsulation: Injection-molded with glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide polymer for rugged environmental sealing.
  • Patented Maintenance Design: Uses FIM's signature "click-separable" independent body. The electrical module detaches instantly from the mechanical fluid path with a single click, allowing you to rotate or swap parts without breaking into the main fluid lines.

Fluid & Pneumatic Profile

  • Primary Valve Function: Primarily configured as a 3-way 2-position (3/2) bistable pilot or fluid controller.
  • Media Optimization: Ideal for battery-operated devices, non-corrosive inert gases, filtered air, and low-viscosity neutral liquids.

Material

Coil Encapsulation: Precision injection-encapsulated glass-fiber reinforced polyamide polymer technopolymer.

Winding Wire: High-purity insulated copper wire, Class F rated (155°C) to protect the coil geometry during reverse polarity switching pulses.

Valve Body Architecture: High-rigidity independent engineering technopolymer utilizing the patented "click-separable" body design to safeguard electrical paths from media exposure.

Internal Latching System: High-retention internal permanent magnet sub-assembly layered with industrial ferromagnetic stainless steel alloys.

Pneumatic Core Guide: High-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel components designed for stable monostable/bistable plunger seat transitions.

Sealing Compounds: Precision-molded elastomeric sealing rings configured to lock pressure reliably without constant current supply.
