Overview

Mencom V-GPRA Form A solenoid valve connectors provide reliable, field-wireable quick-disconnect solutions for industrial valve applications. Designed to EN175301-803 standards, these connectors feature polyamide bodies, copper alloy contacts with silver plating, and thermoplastic gaskets for IP65-rated environmental protection. The formed gasket (replace suffix -00 with -50) accommodates PG 9 (6-8mm) and PG 11 (8-10mm) conduit sizes, supporting 250V AC/DC maximum voltage. Field wireable versions use screw termination with 16 AWG conductors and are UL-recognized. Available in gray, black, or clear housings with circuitry options including flyback diodes, MOVs, and bridge rectifiers with LEDs for diagnostics. Temperature ratings range from -40°C to 125°C (gray/black) or -25°C to 90°C (clear). Ideal for maintenance, repair, or new installations in industrial automation, fluid control systems, and pneumatic applications where quick disconnect and reliable performance are critical.
