Do not get the SY5000 series. They are all above the legal .32 Cv

Oddly enough the Festos are not rated in Cv, but in something like ml/s. That's not going to be documentable for an inspector.

There are some links posted in other recent solenoid treads, or I'll hunt up some soon. I've got robotics now and a wireless bridge that's DOA.

The SMC noid i've got here is a 3000 series but it's ports are 1/4 inch, making it not legal. So be specific, I'd hate for a rookie team to spend all their money on illegal noids (and they sure are expensive).

As for the Festo, glad you figured it out. You mentioned it only blinked, on ours that means it's wired wrong, usually polarity is backwards.
