SMC SS5Y5-42-05-C8 Solenoid Block With Solenoids

SMC SS5Y5-42-05-C8 is a five-station base-mounted valve manifold from the SY5000 family that arrives as a solenoid block with integrated coils. Built as a bar-stock, base-mounted manifold (Type 42) with individual wiring, it supports five valve stations in a single compact block and uses φ8 tube fittings via the C8 designation for each port, enabling clean, rapid-piping on automation equipment. Each station can be wired independently to centralized control, making the assembly suitable for driving multiple pneumatic actuators in a single bank—ideal for tight-packed arrays of cylinders on packaging lines, clamps, or conveyor-based systems. The part code encodes five ports, 42-type manifold, and C8 tubing connections, aligning with SMC’s SY5000/ SY3000/ SY7000 valve architectures that balance higher flow and lower power within a modular, scalable footprint. This configuration is commonly employed in machine automation projects where space savings and simplified wiring are priorities, allowing designers to expand valve banks without reconfiguring control circuitry.
