The MICRO series solenoid valves are extremely small in size and suitable for many applications, especially electronic taps.



Data Sheet:



(opens in a new window)





Manufactured in Italy by R.P.E.SRL, the MICRO series offer tap designers a range of solenoid valves with the extremely compact dimensions of only 2.5 cm x 4.3 cm.


These indirect-acting (servo-assisted) diaphragm solenoid valves, with central inlet and side outlet, are specifically designed for applications such as automatic-electronic faucets, while their compact dimensions make them suitable for other uses where a high density of solenoid valve packing is required and so space and size are critical considerations.


The MICRO series is available in 4 versions :


  • 3V Latching
  • 4,5V Latching
  • 6V Latching
  • 12V Normally Closed

The power consumption of the MICRO series solenoid valves is very low with the 3v version drawing only 550mA, this reduces both the size and the cost of the power supply and makes the latching(bistable) versions especially suitable for battery powered systems.


The latching versions can be operated (open to close, or closed to open) by just a 20 ms pulse of DC voltage from an external electronic device.

A key feature of the MICRO series solenoid valves is the minimal number of parts and the use of advanced plastic materials ensure durability and a long service life. As an additional feature to ensure reliability the solenoid operator is located inside the body of the valve and hydraulically isolated from the water by a seal.


Despite their compact size the MICRO series off excellent performance with high water flow and low water hammer to ensure quite operation. The MICRO series will operate over a wide water pressure range of 0,2 - 8 bar (2,9 - 116 psi), ensuring reliable operation without requiring a pressure regulator in most applications.

The MICRO series is suitable for cold or hot water (up to 90°C) with an ambient temperature up to 60°C. These valves can be mounted at any angle, simplifying the design process.


The water inlet is via a M24 X 1,5 thread and the outlet via a gasket seal to a seat produced by the customer. A number of electrical connection options are supported including with unipolar cables 200mm long with stripped ends and cables with IP68 connectors available.


The MICRO just needs to be screwed in to the valve seat and connected to the control electronics and it is ready to go!
