Wabco 5776020220 5/2 Way Solenoid Valve 24V

Description

The Wabco 5/2 Way Solenoid Valve 24V is a critical component in air brake systems, designed to control the flow of compressed air within the braking circuit. It is commonly used in commercial vehicles and heavy machinery to facilitate efficient and reliable braking performance. This solenoid valve features a normally open configuration, an electrical connection conforming to EN 175301-803-A/ISO 4400, and operates effectively up to a maximum pressure of 10.0 bar with a nominal diameter of 7.0 mm. Its M14 x 1.5 port threads ensure compatibility with standard air brake lines. The valve’s robust IP 65 protection class safeguards against dust and moisture, ensuring durability in demanding environments, and its operating temperature range of -25°C to +50°C makes it suitable for a wide range of climates. This valve is an OE specification part, guaranteeing a precise fit and consistent performance. Its dimensions are 32 x 68 x 149 mm. The MPN for this valve is 5776020220.

Key Features & Benefits

This valve basically controls airflow in your air brake system. The “5/2” part tells you how it works. Think of it like a little traffic controller. It has five ports – places where air can enter or exit – and two positions it can switch between. One position allows air to flow to an actuator – maybe your air brakes, or something else pneumatic – and the other position cuts the air off. The 24 – volt part just means it’s electrically operated with a 24 – volt signal. When you send 24 volts to it, it flips between those two positions, controlling the air flow. It’s a pretty vital part of your air brake system. You’ll find these used for things like applying and releasing the spring brakes – those emergency brakes that kick in if you lose air pressure – and also controlling the trailer brakes on many commercial vehicles. It’s often used in conjunction with other valves and the brake pedal to give you smooth and reliable braking. It acts like a shield, making sure air goes where it needs to, when it needs to, and doesn’t go where it shouldn’t.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, obviously, brakes are pretty important, right? If this valve fails, it can lead to a number of issues. You might find your spring brakes won't release properly, or your trailer brakes might not work as they should. You’ll notice if it’s failing, usually by inconsistent brake function or the brakes not releasing fully. A faulty valve can create a serious safety hazard. We carry a good selection of these – you can find a replacement on Fixparts Online if you want to take a look at what’s available. It's usually a straightforward swap, but if you're not comfortable working on air brake systems, definitely have a qualified mechanic handle it.
