SMC VQ4301-5C-X2 Solenoid Valve

The SMC VQ4301-5C-X2 is a 5-port, 3-position, DC-operated solenoid valve from the VQ4000 family, designed for base-mounted, plug-in installation. It features a closed-center configuration that directs compressed air to actuators or exhaust ports depending on coil energization. This model uses a DC coil (-X2) with a plug-in wiring arrangement for compact installations and is base-mounted for integration with standard manifolds. The valve supports an operating pressure range of 0.20 to 1 MPa (about 29–145 psi), making it suitable for typical industrial pneumatic systems. As part of the VQ4000 series, it delivers reliable, rapid switching for pneumatic control tasks and is commonly employed to actuate cylinders or other pneumatic devices in automated packaging, assembly, clamping, and gripping applications that require precise solenoid control within a compact 5-port footprint.
