Overview

The Mencom VAN-A20-3502 is a DIN 43650 Form A solenoid valve connector designed for reliable quick-disconnect applications in industrial automation. This 3-pole Form A (18mm) connector integrates a 5-pole M12 male right-angle plug for secure, vibration-resistant connections in solenoid valve circuits. Rated for 250V and 4A continuous operation, it supports standard industrial voltages while ensuring stable performance under load. The 10-meter PVC-jacketed cable provides flexibility for remote valve installations, reducing wiring complexity in control panels. The right-angle M12 termination minimizes space constraints and cable strain, ideal for compact enclosures or tight mounting environments. Compatible with standard DIN 43650 Form A receptacles, this connector simplifies maintenance by enabling tool-free disconnection for valve replacement or troubleshooting. Mencom’s universal design accommodates both new installations and retrofit applications, with field-wireable options available for custom circuit configurations. The connector’s quick-disconnect feature reduces downtime during maintenance, while the robust construction ensures long-term reliability in harsh industrial conditions. Typical applications include pneumatic and hydraulic valve actuation, process control systems, and machinery automation where rapid valve servicing is critical. The 3+5 pole configuration supports standard solenoid valve wiring schemes, including models with built-in MOVs, flyback diodes, or braided rectifiers for surge protection. With a 18mm Form A size, it integrates seamlessly with most industrial valve manifolds and control panels.
