Pin Configuration

Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed) - Pinout and Connection Guide
The Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed) is a widely used IoT component in various applications, including industrial automation, robotics, and smart home systems. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the pins and their connections.
Pinout:
The Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed) has a total of 3 pins:
1. VCC (Positive Power Supply)
Function: Provides the positive voltage supply to the solenoid valve.
Voltage: 12V DC
Pin Type: Power pin
2. GND (Ground)
Function: Provides the negative voltage supply (ground) to the solenoid valve.
Voltage: 0V (Ground)
Pin Type: Power pin
3. SIG (Signal)
Function: Receives the control signal from the microcontroller or other control devices to operate the solenoid valve.
Voltage: 0V (Low) or 12V (High)
Pin Type: Digital input pin
Connection Guide:
To connect the Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed), follow these steps:
Step 1: Power Supply Connection
Connect the VCC pin to a 12V DC power supply.
Connect the GND pin to the ground terminal of the power supply.
Step 2: Signal Connection
Connect the SIG pin to a digital output pin of a microcontroller or other control devices.
Ensure the signal voltage is either 0V (Low) or 12V (High) to control the solenoid valve.
Step 3: Solenoid Valve Connection
Connect the solenoid valve to the switch output. The valve will be normally closed (NC) when the SIG pin is Low (0V) and will open when the SIG pin is High (12V).
Important Notes:
Ensure the voltage supply matches the rated voltage of the solenoid valve switch (12V DC).
Use a suitable power supply that can provide the required current to operate the solenoid valve.
When the SIG pin is Low (0V), the valve will be closed, and when the SIG pin is High (12V), the valve will open.
Make sure to connect the solenoid valve to a suitable load, and ensure the valve is properly installed and configured according to the manufacturer's instructions.
By following these steps and notes, you can successfully connect and operate the Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed) in your IoT projects.

Code Examples

Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed) Documentation

Overview

The Solenoid Valve Switch 12V DC 1/2 inch (Normally Closed) is an electromechanical valve control device that operates on 12V DC power and has a 1/2 inch port size. It is normally closed, meaning it only allows fluid to flow through when the solenoid is energized. This valve is commonly used in IoT applications, such as automation, robotics, and home automation systems.

Pinout and Connection

The Solenoid Valve Switch has two main connections:

VCC: The 12V DC power input.
 GND: The ground connection.
 SIGNAL: The control signal input (normally connected to a digital output of a microcontroller).

Operating Principle

When the control signal (SIGNAL) is HIGH (typically 5V), the solenoid is energized, and the valve opens, allowing fluid to flow through. When the control signal is LOW (typically 0V), the solenoid is de-energized, and the valve closes, blocking fluid flow.

Code Examples

### Example 1: Basic Arduino Control

This example demonstrates how to use the Solenoid Valve Switch with an Arduino Uno board to control a simple irrigation system.
```c
const int solenoidPin = 2;  // Solenoid control signal pin
const int ledPin = 13;    // LED indicator pin

void setup() {
  pinMode(solenoidPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(solenoidPin, HIGH);  // Open valve
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);      // Turn on LED indicator
  delay(5000);                     // Wait 5 seconds

digitalWrite(solenoidPin, LOW);  // Close valve
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);      // Turn off LED indicator
  delay(5000);                   // Wait 5 seconds
}
```
### Example 2: Raspberry Pi Python Control

This example demonstrates how to use the Solenoid Valve Switch with a Raspberry Pi board to control a smart home automation system using Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
solenoid_pin = 17  # Solenoid control signal pin
GPIO.setup(solenoid_pin, GPIO.OUT)

try:
    while True:
        GPIO.output(solenoid_pin, GPIO.HIGH)  # Open valve
        print("Valve opened")
        time.sleep(5)

GPIO.output(solenoid_pin, GPIO.LOW)  # Close valve
        print("Valve closed")
        time.sleep(5)

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
Note: In both examples, ensure that the Solenoid Valve Switch is connected to the correct pins and power supply, and that the microcontroller/microcomputer is properly configured for outputting digital signals.

Safety Precautions

Ensure the Solenoid Valve Switch is properly installed and secured to prevent electrical shock or mechanical damage.
 Use appropriate wiring and connectors to prevent electrical connections from coming loose.
 Follow proper safety guidelines when working with electrical systems and fluid-handling applications.

Troubleshooting

If the valve does not open/close, check the power supply, wiring, and control signal connections.
 If the valve is not responding to the control signal, check the microcontroller/microcomputer output and Solenoid Valve Switch connections.
