*2: Based on JIS B 8374-1993. Value with indicator light / surge voltage suppressor (clean air). Variation accuracy ±1 ms
*2: Use dry air when operating at low temperatures and with no condensation.
*3: The locking type is a semi-standard specification.
*4: Impact resistance: No malfunction occurred when tested using a drop tester. The test was performed once for each condition, in both energized and de-energized states, in the axial and right angle directions of the armature. (Initial value)
Vibration resistance: No malfunctions occurred in a 1-sweep test between 45 and 2,000 Hz. The test was performed in both energized and non-energized states and in the axial direction and at a right angle to the armature. (Initial value)
*5: Select model numbers with a prefix of "10-" (Clean Series) when operating with a vacuum. Can be used with 3 (R) port vacuum, 1 (P) port vacuum burst pressure. (Differential pressure of 3 (R) and 1 (P) is up to the maximum operating pressure of each type.)
*6: The power saving type supports plug-in, L and M plug connectors for lead wire electrical entry.

*1: Grommet is available only for normally open type (without light/surge voltage suppressor). Normally open type is available only with 1 W DC specifications.
*2: Based on JIS B 8374-1993, with indicator light / surge voltage suppressor (clean air).
*3: Inrush 3.1 W (10 ms after energized), holding 0.35 W. +, - polarity present.
*4: Select model numbers with a prefix of "10-" (Clean Series) when operating with a vacuum. Can be used with 3 (R) port vacuum, 1 (P) port vacuum burst pressure. (Differential pressure of 3 (R) and 1 (P) is up to the maximum operating pressure of each type.)
*5: In the case of 1 (P) port vacuum and 3 (R) port vacuum release, use VQ120 (Normally open type)
. In this case, the prefix "10-" is not required.
*6: Value inside parentheses denote the air passage of the normally open type.
*7: +, - polarity present.
*8: Power-saving type: Inrush 1.5 W (10 ms after energized), holding 0.25 W. +, - polarity present.
