SMC Corporation VP344T-5TZ1-A Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VP344T-5TZ1-A is a 3-port poppet-type pneumatic solenoid valve from SMC’s VP344 line in the VP300 family. It is base-mounted (no sub-plate) and uses internal pilot actuation for compact installation in tight pneumatic circuits. Electrical connections are via conduit terminal, and the coil is 24 VDC with a built-in light/surge suppressor—features denoted by the TZ1-A coil configuration. This model is normally closed (NC), providing default shutoff when de-energized, and is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 0.7 MPa (7 bar). With three ports and VP300/VP344 compatibility, it fits into standard valve manifolds and enables direct actuation of cylinders or pilot valves in small automation layouts. The VP344T-5TZ1-A’s combination of compact footprint, internal pilot design, and coil arrangement supports straightforward wiring and reliable performance in compact automation assemblies, where space is at a premium and reliable 24 VDC control is required.
