Solenoid Valve for Pneumatic Control

The Festo MFH-5/3E-3/8-B is a solenoid valve designed for directing compressed air in pneumatic systems. It suits engineers and technicians building or maintaining automated machinery. The unit arrives new and ready for installation.

5/3 Mid-Position Exhaust Function

This valve uses a 5/3E configuration, meaning it has five ports and three positions with a mid-position exhaust. That centre state vents both cylinder ports to atmosphere, a critical detail for applications needing pressure release or manual movement when de-energised.

Compact 40mm Body with Part Traceability

The 40mm width allows the valve to fit in tight manifold assemblies. Manufacturer part number 19708 provides a precise reference for ordering spares or verifying compatibility against existing bills of materials.

Questions about this item

How does the 40 mm width of the MFH-5/3E-3/8-B affect installation in a control cabinet?

The 40 mm width determines the lateral spacing needed on a manifold or DIN rail, allowing dense packing of multiple valves in a standard cabinet layout.

What does the 3/8 port designation mean for pneumatic connection sizing?

The 3/8 designation indicates G 3/8 threaded ports, so fittings and tubing must match that thread size to ensure a leak-free pneumatic circuit.

What mounting options suit the 40 mm wide solenoid valve body?

The valve body is designed for direct manifold mounting or sub-base installation, using its 40 mm width as the pitch for standard Festo valve islands.
