Overview

The Mencom VAN-520-3402 is a DIN 43650 Form A (18mm) 3-pole solenoid valve connector designed for reliable quick-disconnect applications. Featuring a 4-pole M12 male right-angle connector, this device ensures space-efficient installation in compact enclosures while maintaining robust performance. Rated for 250V and 4A, it supports inductive load protection options including MOVs, flyback diodes, or braided rectifiers to safeguard solenoid valves and other inductive loads. The 5-meter overmolded cable provides durable field installation, reducing the risk of cable damage in harsh industrial environments. Compatible with standard 18mm valve interfaces, the VAN-520-3402 simplifies both new installations and maintenance tasks, offering a universal design that eliminates the need for retooling in existing systems. Ideal for industrial automation, water treatment, and pneumatic systems, this connector delivers consistent performance with minimal maintenance. The right-angle M12 design minimizes space constraints, making it suitable for applications where cable routing is critical. Field-wireable configurations ensure flexibility during installation or upgrades, while the 3-pole configuration aligns with common solenoid valve wiring standards. Manufactured in the US by Mencom Corporation, the VAN-520-3402 is built to meet the demands of industrial environments requiring reliable, high-quality connectors.
