SMC VQC5501-5 Five Two Way Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VQC5501-5 is a 5-port, two-position pneumatic solenoid valve from the 5000-series, designed for direct control of compressed-air circuits. It is a double‑solenoid (two coils) valve that switches the five ports between its two states to drive pneumatic actuators in automation equipment. Key specifications include a flow coefficient (Cv) of about 3.4, a weight around 0.58 kg, and an operating pressure range of 0.10 to 1.0 MPa. The model is documented in SMC's VQC5000 family and is available in configurations such as plug-lead and base-mounted variants within that family. Typical applications include directing air to pneumatic cylinders in manufacturing lines, packaging systems, and other automation equipment requiring reliable 5-port directional control. The VQC5501-5 adheres to the standard 5-port, 2-position architecture common to SMC's VQC series, providing robust performance in a compact form factor for automation panels.
