The SMC VG342-5DZ-04A-E is a 3-port pilot poppet solenoid valve with a 24-volt DC coil that switches compressed air flow in pneumatic circuits. Its poppet design delivers fast response and tight sealing for directional control in body-ported configurations, with the -04A suffix indicating 1/2-inch ports. This model is commonly installed in industrial automation, packaging equipment, and air-handling systems where reliable on-off actuation of a single pressure or exhaust line is required.
