SMC VQC5101-5 Solenoid Valve 2 Position Single Action

SMC VQC5101-5 is a 5-port, 2-position solenoid valve with a single-action (monostable) design for precise pneumatic control in compact automation systems. It uses a 24 VDC coil and is specified for a supply pressure range of 0.2 to 1.0 MPa, making it compatible with standard factory air systems. The valve is offered in plug-in, base-mounted configurations and, in end styles such as 04N, can have 1/2 in nominal ports. Built for sub-plate mounting, the VQC5101-5 directs compressed air from the pressure port to one of two work ports while venting the opposite side, enabling straightforward actuation of cylinders and actuators. Seals vary by variant, with soft-seating options available for quiet operation, and the body is commonly described as die-cast aluminum for robust, lightweight construction in variants like VQC5101-51-04N. This model is part of SMC’s VQC series, designed for reliable, compact control in automation panels where space is at a premium.
