Overview

Mencom VDC-029-00 is a field-wireable, 3-pole solenoid valve connector engineered for reliable quick-disconnect applications in industrial valve systems. This Form B connector features an 11mm industry-standard design, rated for 10-50V DC operation with an integrated LED and flyback diode for diagnostic visibility and surge protection. The polyamide body and thermoplastic gasket ensure durability across a wide temperature range (-25°C to 90°C), while the zinc-plated steel screw and copper alloy contacts with silver plating deliver long-term conductivity and corrosion resistance. The PG9 cable opening accommodates cables with an outer diameter of 6 to 8 mm, making it compatible with standard solenoid valve wiring. The connector supports easy field installation via screw termination, eliminating the need for specialized tools. Ideal for maintenance, repair, or new installations, the VDC-029-00 integrates seamlessly with Mencom’s range of cordsets and accessories, including overmolded versions with varying cable lengths (2M, 5M, 10M). The color-coded valve pin configuration (Brown for Pin 1, Blue for Pin 2) simplifies wiring accuracy, reducing installation errors. With an IP65 rating for dust and water ingress protection, the VDC-029-00 is suited for harsh industrial environments where reliability and quick serviceability are critical. The connector is UL-recognized for safety and designed for use with 16 AWG conductors. Compatible with 2-pole + ground solenoid valve systems, it provides a robust solution for industrial automation and control applications.
