SMC Corporation VP7-6-FPG-D-3 Solenoid Valve 3-Position 5-Port

The SMC VP7-6-FPG-D-3 is an ISO-standard, size-1, three-position, five-port solenoid valve that delivers compact, reliable directional control for pneumatic circuits in automation, offering predictable actuation in tight spaces. As part of the VP7 family, the D suffix identifies a double-pilot check variant, and the five-port arrangement uses P (pressure) for supply, A and B for actuated outputs, and R and S for exhaust, enabling a three-position cycle that can route air to one side of a double-acting cylinder while venting or blocking the other. The valve is solenoid-driven for repeatable cycling and is designed for panel or subplate mounting with standard ISO interfaces, making it well suited for space-constrained installations such as packaging lines, pick-and-place automation, assembly machinery, and general machine tooling; it integrates with standard SMC mounting practices and can be configured with compatible spacers or subplates in VV71-FPG-based configurations for expanded manifold setups.
