proportional direct acting silicon  control valve (PDA-3)

The PDA-3 is a 3-way valve for use in flow or pressure control. The PDA-3 is based on Microstaq’s thermally actuated silicon MEMS valve technology.

  • 0–0.3 mm orifice range (Cv = .0034)
  • Power = 8 watts
  • Maximum operating pressure 2,200psi
  • Flexible mounting (steel, brass, ceramic, invar)
