SMC Corporation VQC2400K-51 Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VQC2400K-51 is a compact 5-port, 3-position pneumatic solenoid valve in the VQC family that directs compressed-air flow for multi-way control of cylinders. It uses 24 V DC solenoids to shift the spool and is designed for robust base-mounted installations on a metal body in automation systems. The valve features a center/off/closed-center position to vent or isolate ports when de-energized, helping stabilize circuits. Key ratings include a 24 V DC coil, 5 ports, 3 positions, a base-mounted metal body, and an operating temperature range of 14 to 122 °F (10 to 50 °C) with an operating pressure up to 145 psi (approximately 1 MPa), making it suitable for standard pneumatic circuits up to higher-pressure applications. Typical use cases involve directing air to single- or double-acting actuators in automated machinery, packaging lines, and tooling equipment.
