Overview

The Mencom VEN-220-3501 is a robust solenoid valve connector designed for reliable power and signal transmission in industrial automation. This cordset features a Form C (9.4mm) interface on one end, commonly used for solenoid valves, and a 5-pole M12 male straight connector on the other, ensuring broad compatibility with standard automation equipment. The connector is rated for a maximum of 250V AC/DC and 4A, making it suitable for a wide range of valve control applications. It is constructed with a black PVC jacketed cable, offering durability in industrial settings. The M12 connector body is made from oil-resistant black PVC with a nickel-plated brass coupling nut and gold-plated copper alloy contacts for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The Form C DIN connector body is polyamide with copper alloy silver-plated contacts. Operating temperatures for the DIN connector range from -25ºC to 90ºC (-13ºF to 194ºF), while the M12 connector operates between -40ºC to 80ºC (-40ºF to +176ºF). This specific model, VEN-220-3501, includes a 2-meter cable length. Mencom Corporation, the manufacturer, provides these connectors with an IP65 rating, ensuring protection against dust and water ingress, critical for harsh environments. The product is manufactured in the USA.
