Overview

The Mencom Corporation VAT-A30-00 is a high-quality solenoid valve connector designed for reliable and efficient electrical connections in industrial applications. This specific model features a Form A interface, conforming to the EN175301-803 standard, with a 18mm pin spacing, making it compatible with a wide range of solenoid valves. The connector is a cordset version, pre-wired with a 10-meter black PVC cable, offering flexibility in installation and reducing on-site wiring time. It is rated for 120V AC/DC and a maximum current of 10A, suitable for many standard industrial control circuits. Key features of the VAT-A30-00 include integrated diagnostic capabilities provided by two LEDs: an amber LED and a green LED. These LEDs, along with a bridge rectifier and MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) surge suppression, aid in troubleshooting and protect connected equipment from voltage spikes. The circuitry is designed for 120V AC/DC operation. The connector is constructed with a durable TPE body and a polyamide insert, ensuring resilience in industrial environments. The contacts are made of copper alloy with silver plating for optimal conductivity. The built-in TPE gasket provides an IP65 rating, offering protection against dust and water ingress. This 3-pole + ground connector utilizes a specific pinout and color code for wiring: Pin 1 is Brown, Pin 2 is Black, Pin 3 is Blue, and the Ground is Green/Yellow. The cable has a diameter of 0.27 inches (4x18 AWG conductors). The Mencom VAT-A30-00 is manufactured in the USA, ensuring adherence to stringent quality standards. Its universal design, combined with the integrated circuitry and diagnostic LEDs, makes it an ideal choice for new installations, maintenance, and repair of solenoid valves in various automation and control systems.
