Overview

Mencom Corporation’s VAC-A20-00 is a DIN 43650 Form A solenoid valve connector designed for reliable quick-disconnect applications in industrial automation. This 3-pole connector features a 10-meter PVC-jacketed cable (0.23" OD, 4x20 AWG) with a 50V/10A rating, ensuring compatibility with low-voltage DC systems. The integrated LED with flyback diode provides visual status indication and surge protection, reducing downtime during diagnostics and maintenance. The IP65-rated polyamide housing and thermoplastic gasket deliver robust protection against dust and moisture, making it ideal for harsh environments like manufacturing, water treatment, and HVAC systems. Field-installable or pre-terminated options are available, with screw-termination for easy wiring and zinc-plated steel screws for secure retention. The universal design accommodates both new installations and retrofits, supporting 3+ ground configurations with standard orientations for flexible mounting. Certified for -25°C to 90°C operation, this connector meets EN175301-803 standards and is distributed by Gross Automation. SKU: VAC-A20-00.
