# 6V Air Valve with 2-pin JST PH Connector - FA0520E

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA4663 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/6v-air-valve-with-2-pin-jst-ph-connector-fa0520e.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/6v-air-valve-with-2-pin-jst-ph-connector-fa0520e.html.md))

Here's a cool new valve for makers interested in pneumatic systems, hydraulics, inflatables, projects with compressed air, and the like. These air valves, also known by other names like, automatic bleeding valve or air release valve, are typically used to passively release air from a pressurized container.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $6.65 (inc GST) — $6.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $5.86 (exc GST) · 50+ $5.75 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 2 today, and up to 500 more in 8–12 days.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4663:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4663:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Here's a cool new valve for makers interested in pneumatic systems, hydraulics, inflatables, projects with compressed air, and the like. These air valves, also known by other names like, automatic bleeding valve or air release valve, are typically used to passively release air from a pressurized container.

This valve is rated at 6V but Adafruit used it just fine at 5V.

There are three ports on this valve, and you can sort of think of the valve as a pneumatic 'relay:

- The middle port with the flange is the 'common' connection.
- When powered, the common middle port and the plastic end port closest to it are connected and the metal end port is closed (no air flow in or out).
- When de-powered, the common middle port and the metal end port are connected, and the plastic end port is closed (no air flow in or out).

Of course, you'll need an air pump to generate pressure either positive or negative. In Adafruit's demo video, Adafruit have one air pump as a pump, and one as a vacuum, and use the valve to switch the balloon from inflating, statis and deflating by powering the pumps and relays in order!

Comes with a cable with what looks like a 2.5mm plastic connector on the end.
