Overview

Mencom Corporation’s VEN-A20-3501 is a Form C to M12 (MDC) solenoid valve connector cordset designed for reliable, quick-disconnect electrical connections in industrial valve applications. This cordset features a 3-pole ISC 9.4mm DIN-style connector on one end and a 5-pole M12 male straight connector on the other, joined by a 10-meter black PVC-jacketed cable. The M12 end is rated for 250V AC/DC and 4A, with IP65 ingress protection for resistance to dust and water jets. The ISC 9.4mm DIN connector uses copper alloy contacts with silver plating, a polyamide body, and a thermoplastic gasket, operating from -25°C to 90°C. The M12 side employs gold-plated copper contacts, a nickel-plated brass coupling nut, and an oil-resistant PVC body, rated for -40°C to 80°C. This configuration supports 2 poles plus ground, with pins 1, 2, and 5 utilized on the M12 side. The VEN-A20-3501 is ideal for solenoid valve installations requiring a robust, field-terminated or pre-wired solution, compatible with standard M12 valve interfaces. Mencom offers this connector in multiple circuitry options, including versions with flyback diodes or MOVs for transient protection, ensuring compatibility with 10–50V DC, 24V AC/DC, or 110V AC/DC systems. Manufactured in the US, this product is distributed by Gross Automation and carries UNSPSC code 39121400.
