Overview

The Mencom VAR-022-00 is a field wireable solenoid valve connector engineered for reliable 3-pole connections in industrial valve applications. Designed to meet DIN 43650 Form A standards with an 18mm size, this connector ensures broad compatibility across valve systems. Rated for 120V AC and 10A, it supports robust control circuits while providing visual status indication via an integrated LED. The built-in bridge rectifier and MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) deliver surge protection and signal conditioning, safeguarding sensitive components from transient voltage spikes. The .5-NPT opening allows for secure cable entry, while the polyamide body and copper alloy contacts with silver plating ensure durability in harsh environments. With a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C (-40°F to +257°F), it is suitable for extreme operating conditions. The field wireable design simplifies on-site installations, eliminating the need for pre-terminated cables. Mencom’s VAR-022-00 is ideal for new installations or maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) in industries such as water treatment, HVAC, and industrial automation. The 3-pole + ground configuration (3P+G) supports standard wiring practices, while the clear LED indication enables quick diagnostics of valve status. Compatible with PG 9 cable glands for 6-8mm outer diameter cables, this connector is a versatile solution for solenoid valve applications requiring reliable, field-terminated connections.
