Festo 150984, model MFH-5/3B-D-1-C, is a pneumatic solenoid valve designed for controlled switching of compressed air in industrial automation systems. This 5/3-way valve features a closed centre function, electrical actuation, mechanical spring reset and a piston slide design, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable directional control of pneumatic actuators. It supports a working pressure range of 4 to 10 bar, offers a nominal flow rate of 1,200 l/min, and is built for use with compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2010. With G1/4 pneumatic connections, IP65 protection, soft sealing and a durable die-cast aluminium housing, the 150984 is well suited to machinery, process equipment and automated production environments where dependable air control is required.

What type of pneumatic component is this?
This is an electrically actuated air solenoid valve designed for controlling compressed-air flow in pneumatic automation systems. It uses a solenoid coil to switch valve positions and direct air to the relevant actuator ports.
What valve function does this solenoid valve provide?
It is a 5/3-way valve, meaning it has five pneumatic ports and three switching positions. This configuration is commonly used where a double-acting pneumatic actuator needs controlled movement with a defined centre position.
What is the operating pressure range?
The stated operating pressure range is 3 to 10 bar, making it suitable for many standard industrial compressed-air installations.
What is the nominal flow rate?
The standard nominal flow rate is listed as 1,200 l/min, allowing the valve to handle moderate pneumatic flow requirements in automated machinery.
What type of actuation is used?
The valve uses electrical actuation with a solenoid. The reset method is mechanical spring return, which helps move the valve back from an actuated state when the electrical signal is removed.
What pneumatic media can be used with this valve?
It is intended for compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-1:2010. Operation with lubricated air is possible, but continued lubricated operation is required once lubrication is introduced.
What port size is used on the pneumatic connections?
The pneumatic port size is G1/4, which is a common threaded connection size for industrial pneumatic valve installations.
What mounting options are suitable for this valve?
The valve can be mounted on a sub-base with through-hole mounting. It is suitable for use in manifold-style pneumatic assemblies where compact valve grouping is required.
What ambient temperature range is specified?
The ambient temperature range is -5 °C to +40 °C. The medium temperature range is -10 °C to +60 °C, so both the installation environment and air supply conditions should be checked before use.
What materials are used in the construction?
Key material details include an aluminium die-cast housing and NBR seals. The material specification states conformity with RoHS requirements.
What electrical connection does it use?
The electrical connection is made via an F coil, which must be ordered separately. The product data indicates the coil is not included as a separate item with the valve body.
What is the approximate product weight?
The product weight is approximately 620 g, which is useful when considering panel layout, manifold loading or enclosure design.
