SMC Corporation VFS1220-5D-01 Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

The SMC VFS1220-5D-01 is a 5‑port, pilot‑operated pneumatic solenoid valve from the VFS1000 family, designed for 2‑position control of compressed‑air circuits in automation and packaging lines. It uses a 24 V DC coil to actuate the valve, with a maximum operating pressure of 0.99 MPa (about 9.9 bar) and a flow capacity around 981 L/min for the 24 V version, making it suitable for medium‑to‑high demand actuation of cylinders and other pneumatic devices. The valve is built with metal seals and offers base‑mounted or body‑ported manifold compatibility, supporting configurable porting options that can include side ports of 1/8 in or 1/4 in (and bottom 1/8 in as an option) depending on the installation. Lubrication is not required for normal operation, and the operating environment typically covers ambient temperatures from -10 to +60 C. Used in compact automation stacks, it provides reliable switching for pneumatic actuators while fitting standard control hardware, and its 5‑port configuration supports typical P, A, B, and exhaust layouts found in small to mid‑sized automation circuits.
