GRACO 26C276 - Latching Solenoid
GRACO 26C276 is a genuine OEM latching solenoid used in select Graco systems to actuate a valve mechanism with minimal continuous power draw. Unlike a standard (continuous-duty) solenoid that must stay energized to hold position, a latching solenoid is designed to switch states using a brief electrical pulse and remain in position until commanded to change—helpful for reducing heat and power consumption in electronically controlled fluid/air circuits.
What It Does
- Electrically actuates a valve function (open/close or shift) within an OEM control circuit
- Latching design maintains its state without constant energizing (system-dependent)
- Supports consistent, repeatable cycling in automated or control-driven operation
Common Reasons to Replace
- Valve won’t shift, won’t hold position, or behaves intermittently
- Click/no-click condition during commanded actuation
- Coil damage from contamination, moisture intrusion, overheating, or wiring issues
- Troubleshooting confirms proper signal is present but actuation is inconsistent
Installation Notes
- Match the part number exactly—latching solenoids are not interchangeable with continuous-duty types.
- Before replacing, inspect the connector, harness, and control output for loose pins, corrosion, or damaged wiring.
- If the solenoid is mounted to a valve body, ensure sealing surfaces are clean and properly seated during reassembly.
- After installation, function-test the actuation cycle to confirm reliable switching and holding behavior.
