HVAC Solenoid and Valve Solutions
FLOW WITH PRECISION
Solenoid valves are the traffic controllers of refrigerant flow in HVAC systems. They rely on powerful connectors, sensors, and terminals to ensure seamless assembly and precise regulation. Explore TE’s portfolio of component solutions.
THE SCIENCE OF SEAMLESS OPERATION
Solenoids and valves play a pivotal role in regulating refrigerant flow within HVAC systems, demanding careful consideration from design engineers when selecting electrical components. Choosing the right connector is essential for smooth refrigerant circulation and precise signal transmission. TE Connectivity (TE) provides robust solutions tailored to harsh environments, including rugged power and signal connectors and high-performance heat shrink tubing. We also offer temperature and pressure sensor solutions for electronic expansion valves. Partner with TE for your HVAC design needs, from sealed connectors to quick-connect terminal solutions, designed for ease of assembly and secure connections. Don’t sweat it – we've got the innovation and expertise to help with your solenoid and valve design challenges.
TERMINALS & SPLICES
Looking for secure connections with fewer part numbers? TE's FASTON receptacles are an ideal solution for connecting wires from control boards, thermostats, and other electrical components to solenoids mounted on 4-way reversing valves. These receptacles offer lower insertion force, higher temperature ratings, and improved assembly efficiency, enhancing the quick-connect market. By securely connecting wires, they can ensure the smooth flow of electrical current to the solenoids, enabling precise actuation of the valves. This effective management of refrigerant flow promotes optimal performance and reliability in HVAC systems.
POWER & SIGNAL CONNECTORS
Selecting the right connector is crucial for smooth refrigerant circulation and precise electrical signal transmission in heat pump systems. TE offers a range of compact, sealed, and durable power and signal connectors specifically engineered to excel in harsh environments. Our Economy Power 2.5 connectors feature polarization tabs to prevent misalignment, audible positive latching for secure mating, and low insertion force (LIF) contacts for ergonomic assembly. Additionally, our 2.5mm Signal Double Lock connectors boast a double lock plate for secure mating, a high-profile header suitable for PCBs with conformal coatings, and IP67-rated sealing for reliable performance in humid and wet conditions. Whether connecting the main control PCB to the electronic expansion valve or other critical components, TE provides robust connectors to help ensure dependable connectivity and optimal system functionality.
HEAT SHRINK TUBING
When it comes to sealed protection we offer high-performance single and dual wall heat shrink tubing built for the harshest environments – exposure to moisture, dust, debris, shock, and vibration. Heat shrink tubing provides insulation and protection for electrical connections, helping to prevent short circuits, corrosion, and moisture damage. When heated, it shrinks to conform to the size and shape of the underlying material - making installation fast and easy.
SENSORS
Sensors play a crucial role in the functionality of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems, ensuring optimal indoor climate control and system performance. They detect, monitor, and measure the refrigerant flow, providing essential data for system operation. TE offers a comprehensive portfolio of sensor solutions for temperature, pressure, and humidity sensing, contributing to home comfort and system efficiency. By integrating TE's sensors with solenoids and valves, HVAC systems can enhance efficiency, comfort, and reliability, ultimately delivering superior performance and satisfaction.
