SMC Solenoid Vendor?
We are wanting to use several single solenoid valves on our robot this year, but I am having a hard time finding more of the SMC single solenoids to purchase. (I prefer these over the FESTO ones)

A search on this board mentioned Motion Industries, but when I check there website they don't have the SY3140-6H-S solenoid as the part number is listed in the KOP checklist.

I have done extensive searching this morning and can't find a vendor for this part. I do find similar parts such as the SY3140-LOZ-S, which says it's a 12V solenoid and the picture looks similar to the KOP solenoid. My question is:

Where can I purchase more of these KOP solenoids, and if they're not available what would be an acceptable equivalent?

I can't imagine I'm the only person having this problem this year, so has anyone else already solved this problem? Thanks.
