Overview

The Mencom VAJ-220-3501 is a Form A (18mm) solenoid valve cordset designed for reliable electrical connections in industrial automation. This specific model features a 3-pole configuration plus ground, utilizing a 5-pole M12 male straight connector for mating. The integrated 2-meter cable provides ample reach for various valve actuation systems. Operating at 120V AC with a maximum current rating of 4A, this connector is equipped with an LED indicator and a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) for surge suppression, aiding in diagnostics and protecting connected equipment from voltage spikes. The Form A 18mm interface is standard for many solenoid valves, ensuring broad compatibility. The connector body is constructed from Polyamide, and the contacts are made of Nickel Plated Copper Alloy. This cordset meets an IP65 rating for dust and water ingress protection. Manufactured in the US by Mencom Corporation, SKU VAJ-220-3501 is a dependable plug-and-play solution for OEMs and system integrators requiring robust valve wiring. Circuitry includes bi-color LEDs for 10-50V AC/DC applications, with Pin 2 indicating Yellow and Pin 3 indicating Green. The MOV provides essential overvoltage protection for the solenoid coil. This cordset is ideal for applications where quick disconnect and reliable power delivery to solenoid valves are critical, such as in pneumatic and hydraulic control systems.
