SMC VG342-5DZ-06NA-E 3-Port Pilot Operated Solenoid Valve

The VG342-5DZ-06NA-E is a three-port, pilot-operated poppet valve from SMC, engineered for compact, high‑reliability pneumatic control in automated systems, packaging lines, and other equipment where space is at a premium. It features 3/4 in nominal NPT porting, an aluminum alloy body with a rubber seal, external pilot operation, and a 24 VDC coil; it supports operating pressures from 0.2 to 0.9 MPa and vacuum up to –101.2 kPa, with lubrication-free performance. Power consumption depends on variant: 4 W DC for the standard type and 1.8 W DC for the energy‑saving option, and electrical entry is provided via a DIN terminal for straightforward interfacing with control systems. In use, the VG342 can function as a selector or divider valve when driven by an external pilot, enabling flexible routing of air among ports; it is part of SMC’s VG342 family, which emphasizes compact three‑port operation and reliable performance in vacuum or low‑pressure environments.
