SMC Corporation VQZ1220-5LO-C4 Solenoid Valve

The SMC VQZ1220-5LO-C4 is a 5-port, two-position solenoid valve from SMC’s VQZ1000/2000/3000 family, designed for compact, body-ported pneumatic control in industrial automation. This single-unit valve provides P, A, B, EA, EB ports, enabling reliable 5-way switching to feed multiple lines and actuate cylinders or other pneumatics in coordinated sequences. The LO in the model code denotes the coil version, with C4 indicating the electrical connection option, and the valve is specified for a typical operating air pressure range of 0.1 to 0.7 MPa (1–7 bar). In top-ported configurations common to the VQZ1000 series, porting is Rc 1/8, supporting compact installation with standard fittings. The VQZ family supports 2 to 20 stations, making this valve a suitable component for multi-valve manifolds and automated lines, and SMC provides CAD data for exact variants to streamline integration. This model is well-suited for actuation tasks in pneumatic circuits that require precise, rapid switching in tight spaces.
