Overview

Mencom Corporation’s VAC-220-3501 Solenoid Valve Connector is a high-integrity cordset designed for direct connection to 3-pole Form A 18mm DIN connectors on solenoid valves, with a 5-pole M12 male straight plug termination. This 2-meter cable assembly supports up to 50V and 4A, making it suitable for low-voltage DC control circuits in industrial automation, fluid handling, and pneumatic systems. The integrated LED provides real-time operational status indication, while the built-in flyback diode protects against voltage spikes during inductive load switching, extending relay and valve life. The connector meets EN175301-803 standards and carries an IP65 rating for resistance to dust and water ingress, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments. The M12 male plug features nickel-plated brass coupling nuts and gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance and low contact resistance. The cable is black PVC-jacketed with a polyamide body, rated for operation between -40°C and 80°C. This SKU is ideal for new installations or maintenance, with field-wireable and over-molded variants available. Mencom’s US-based manufacturing ensures traceability and compliance with industrial quality standards.
