SMC VQC4301-51 Base Mounted Plug-In Solenoid Valve

SMC VQC4301-51 is a 5-port base-mounted, plug-in solenoid valve in the VQC4000 family, offered as a single-unit base-mounted plug-in unit designed for subplate installations. This 4-way, 3-position valve provides directional control of pneumatic actuators and is commonly used in automation lines where a compact, modular valve is preferred. It supports supply pressures from 0.15 to 1 MPa (approximately 22 to 145 psi) and is suitable for air or inert gas media, with cylinder ports typically 3/8 inch when mounted on a sub-plate configuration. Operating temperature ranges from 14 to 122 F (-10 to 50 C), and seals are rubber (softgoods), with a 3-position actuator noted in the specifications. The base-mount, plug-in design and single-unit construction support straightforward installation in compact spaces and align with SMC’s approach to modular directional control in automation environments.
