Overview

Mencom VCG-520-3501 is a DIN 43650 Form C (8mm) solenoid valve connector designed for quick-disconnect applications in industrial automation and control systems. This 3-pole + ground connector features a 5-pole M12 (MDC) male straight plug with a 5-meter black PVC cable, rated for 24V AC/DC and 4A continuous current. The integrated LED with Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) provides visual status indication and transient voltage protection, reducing the risk of voltage spikes damaging connected solenoids or valves. The overmolded cable construction ensures durability in harsh environments, with a temperature range of -25°C to 90°C (-13°F to 194°F). The connector body is constructed from black polyamide, with copper alloy contacts featuring silver plating for reliable electrical performance. The cable outer diameter is 0.23" (PG 7 gland), and the connector meets IP65 rating for dust and water ingress protection. This cordset simplifies installation and maintenance in new systems or retrofit applications, with a universal Form C interface that guarantees compatibility with most solenoid valve manufacturers. The 8mm Form C interface allows for quick mating and un-mating, minimizing downtime during valve replacement or troubleshooting. The 5-pole M12 (MDC) male straight plug ensures secure connections in fluid control, pneumatic systems, and process automation environments. Available in multiple configurations (2-pole + ground, 3-pole + ground, right-angle variants, and field-wireable models), the VCG-520-3501 is part of Mencom’s VCG series, designed for reliable performance in industrial automation and control systems.
