Re: How to wire a SMC Solenoid Valve SY5220-5DO-C6 ?
Be aware that the Cv value for that solenoid is 0.33 (P->A/B) which is very slightly over the 0.32 that is allowed by FIRST [R71-C]. The only SY5000 series solenoid which is below 0.32 is the -C4.

Also note that this solenoid specifies 6mm diameter tubing, which is OK by the rules, but different from the 1/4" tubing in the kit. I think they do fit together, but I don't know if they provide a reliable seal and are easily removed.

I'm no expert in pneumatics, but have had to do a lot of learning for FIRST.
