Overview

The Mencom Corporation VAC-021-00 is a field-wireable solenoid valve connector designed for reliable DIN 43650 Form A (18mm) connections in industrial automation. This 3-pole connector supports a voltage rating of 50V and a continuous current rating of 10A, making it suitable for standard 24V DC solenoid valve coils. It features an integrated LED indicator for visual confirmation of power and a flyback diode to protect the control circuit from inductive voltage spikes generated when the solenoid coil is de-energized. The connector includes a PG11 cable gland opening, accommodating cables with diameters from 6mm to 12mm, providing secure strain relief essential for harsh industrial environments. The VAC-021-00 utilizes screw termination for secure wire connections and is mounted according to the DIN 43650 Form A standard. Manufactured in the US, this connector is built with a copper alloy contact material and a PVC housing (implied by typical industrial connector construction). Its robust design ensures resistance to vibration and moisture, contributing to reduced maintenance requirements in applications such as water treatment, pneumatic systems, and general industrial machinery. The operating temperature range for this connector is -25°C to +85°C, ensuring performance across a variety of industrial conditions. This field-wireable configuration offers flexibility for on-site assembly and customization. The Mencom VAC series connectors are compatible with most 3-pole solenoid valves requiring an 18mm Form A interface.
