SMC Corporation VQ4250-5H 5-Port Solenoid Valve

SMC VQ4250-5H is a 5-port, 2-position solenoid valve in the VQ4000/5000 family, engineered for compact pneumatic control in automation and manufacturing equipment. It directs compressed air to a double-acting cylinder by switching between two work ports while exhausting the opposite port, enabling reversible actuation within a single compact block. The coil is 24 V DC, a common control voltage for industrial systems, and the VQ4250-5H is available in configurations typical of the VQ5 series, including plug-in and base-mounted variants for straightforward manifold integration. This 5-port valve consolidates supply, two actuator ports, and two exhaust paths, supporting compact pneumatics in applications such as pick-and-place, clamping, tooling actuation, and general automated machinery where simple, reliable directional control is required. Designed for modular assembly and serviceability, the VQ4250-5H complements other VQ4x50 models in terms of footprint and electrical interface, making it a suitable choice when a compact, 5-port, 2-position valve is needed to drive single or multiple pilot lines in compact automation layouts.
