VAVE-L1-1VR8-LP

Product information

Product Overview

VAVE-L1 is Festo’s electrical sub-base and connection-box family used with valves. The family covers the electrical connection components that sit between the valve coil and the machine wiring, including versions with holding-current reduction and versions with spark arresting for hazardous or inductive-load duty.

This page covers VAVE-L1-1VR8-LP — Festo type code VAVE-L1-1VR8-LP, order number 573919. Everything below is taken from Festo’s own product data for this order number: the technical values, the category path, the GTIN and the lifecycle notice are all reproduced from the manufacturer’s page rather than paraphrased, so you can check them against Festo’s documentation before you buy.

Why Buyers Specify This Model

• Electrical connection box for valve coils, so the coil is not wired directly into the machine harness
• Versions with holding-current reduction, which lowers the steady-state power the coil draws
• Spark-arresting versions for applications where switching an inductive load has to be suppressed
• Pin assignment published by Festo for each version, so the wiring can be checked before installation
• Part of the same accessory system as Festo’s valve ranges

Technical Specifications (Official Festo Data)

Festo publishes the parameter set for this product in the series catalogue rather than as a per-article key/value block, so we do not reproduce a shortened table here. The ordering data below and the catalogue link give you Festo’s own figures. Send us the values you need and we will pull them from the manufacturer’s catalogue for your variant.

The order number and the type code both have to match. A single character in the type code can change the valve function, the cushioning or the connection, and it always changes the order number.

Lifecycle and Availability

Festo’s product page for this order number does not currently carry a discontinuation or successor notice, so we list it as a standard catalogue item. Availability is always confirmed against Festo’s stock at the time you order — we do not keep a stock figure on this page because it would be out of date the day it was written.

Official Documentation

Every figure on this page comes from Festo. Use the manufacturer’s own documents to verify it:

• Festo official product page — VAVE-L1-1VR8-LP — the source of the technical values and the lifecycle notice above.
• Festo official series catalogue (PDF) — Festo’s own catalogue for this series, including the type code breakdown and the ordering data for every variant.

Ordering This Part

Before we quote, please confirm:

• the complete Festo type code, exactly as it appears on the drawing or the nameplate — not just the series name;
• the order number if you have it, so we can cross-check the code against Festo’s catalogue;
• the quantity and the delivery address;
• for cylinders, the stroke and the mounting style, because both are fields in the order code;
• for valves and sensors, the electrical connection and the voltage, because these are fields in the order code.

Send us a photograph of the nameplate if the code is hard to read — that is usually the fastest way to avoid shipping the wrong variant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1VR8 mean in VAVE-L1-1VR8-LP?
It is the version and connection field of the electrical sub-base: the number of the variant and the plug form (here an M8 3-pin round plug connector, with pin 1 unused on this variant). Festo publishes the pin assignment for the variant, and the trailing letters give further options such as holding-current reduction.

What is holding-current reduction for?
It reduces the current the solenoid coil draws once the valve has switched, which lowers heat and total power consumption when a machine has many valves energised at once. The product variants with this feature carry it in the code.

Is this a valve or an accessory?
An accessory. The VAVE-L1 is the electrical connection component that sits between the valve and the machine wiring; the valve itself is a separate part with its own code.

Can you supply it with the matching cable?
Yes. The version with an M8 plug connection needs a mating cable with the matching pin count and coding. We quote the connector and cable together.
