Product Description

12V 1/2" Male Thread Normally Closed Solenoid Valve

= Water Control Valve for Automation and DIY Projects =

This 12V 1/2-inch male thread solenoid valve is a normally closed (NC) electric valve, which means it remains closed when power is off and opens only when 12V DC is applied . It is an ideal component for automating liquid flow in projects like robotic gardening, irrigation systems, aquariums, and industrial controls.

Reliable "Normally Closed" Operation - Valve opens when powered, closes when power is removed for secure shutoff
Durable Construction Available in robust brass or zinc alloy bodies for longterm reliability
Requires a 12V DC power supply capable of delivering at least 2A for stable and reliable actuation .
Use a TIP120 transistor or N-Channel MOSFET with a 1N4001 kickback diode to safely drive this valve from a microcontroller like Arduino .
