SMC VSS8-8-FHG-D-3EZ-V1 Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VSS8-8-FHG-D-3EZ-V1 is an eight-port, three-position pneumatic solenoid valve from SMC’s VSS8 family that provides electric-to-pneumatic control for compressed-air circuits. It uses a 24 VDC coil with a nominal power of 1 W (approximately 42 mA), enabling compact, low‑current control wiring. The valve’s 8-port configuration uses a 3/4 in port size and is designed for ISO 5599-style manifolds, with a closed-center, three-position arrangement (FHG‑D) and the 3EZ exhaust option. Operating pressure ranges from 0.1 to 1 MPa (roughly 1–10 bar) and ambient temperatures from −5 to 50 °C, making it suitable for typical factory environments. The media handled is clean air or inert gas, and the unit is intended for automation use such as actuating double‑acting cylinders or serving as a pilot valve within a modular manifold system. In practice, this VSS8‑8 model offers plug‑in coil compatibility and a compact footprint ideal for automation cabinets and integrated control panels, aligning with common SMC configurations for industrial packaging, material handling, and process automation applications.
