Overview

The Mencom Corporation VCG-220-3501 is a DIN 43650 Form C (8mm) solenoid valve connector, engineered for reliable quick disconnect in industrial valve applications. This connector simplifies installation for new systems or maintenance tasks, featuring a 3-pole Form C (8mm) interface on one end and a 5-pole M12 male straight connector on the other. The integrated 2-meter cable supports a maximum current of 4A at 24V AC/DC, ensuring compatibility with standard solenoid valve systems. For enhanced operational reliability and protection, this model includes an integrated LED indicator for visual status monitoring and a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) for surge suppression, effectively reducing the risk of damage from transient voltage spikes. Manufactured in the USA, the VCG-220-3501 meets UNSPSC code 39121400. This specific configuration offers a 2+Ground pole count on the M12 side, distinguishing it from 4-pole M12 variants. Mencom Corporation provides a comprehensive range of solenoid valve connectors, including field-wireable and over-molded versions with customizable cable lengths, as well as options with different integrated circuitry such as Flyback Diodes and Braided Rectifiers to suit diverse application requirements. Refer to the Mencom catalog for alternative M12 connector options like right-angle configurations (VCG-220-3502) or different cable lengths (e.g., VCG-520-3501 for 5M, VCG-A20-3501 for 10M).
