Overview

The Mencom VAC-089-3401 is a DIN 43650 Form A (18mm) 3-pole solenoid valve connector designed for reliable quick-disconnect wiring in industrial valve applications. This connector features a 4-pole M12 male straight plug, rated for 50V and 4A continuous current, with an integrated LED and flyback diode for visual status indication and surge protection. The ground connection is positioned opposite the power pins, simplifying wiring and enhancing safety. Key specifications include a polyamide body, copper alloy contacts with silver plating, and a thermoplastic gasket for durability in harsh environments. The connector supports cable O.D. from 6 to 7mm (PG 7) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C for gray and black housings, or -25°C to 90°C for clear housings. The IP65 rating ensures protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial use. This connector is field-wireable, allowing for custom cable lengths and terminations, or available as an overmolded version with pre-terminated cables in various lengths. The universal design ensures compatibility with standard 18mm solenoid valves, reducing downtime during repairs and upgrades. The VAC-089-3401 eliminates the need for custom wiring solutions by providing a standardized, plug-and-play interface for solenoid valves in automation, process control, and machinery applications.
