SMC Corporation VQZ2450-5L Pneumatic Valve Base

SMC's VQZ2450-5L is a base-mounted, 5-port solenoid valve in the VQZ family, designed for compact, plug‑in pneumatic control. This DC-operated valve is intended for use with the VQZ1000/2000/3000 series and supports base-mount installation, enabling straightforward manifold integration in control panels or automated lines. The 5-port configuration accommodates common 4/2 and 5/3 circuit arrangements, allowing P (pressure) to A/B and exhaust paths to be routed through a single, space‑efficient unit. Variants offer different seal materials (metal or rubber) and exhaust-center configurations to tailor flow characteristics and switching behavior to a given application. Because of its small footprint and lightweight construction, the VQZ2450-5L is well suited for tight spaces and retrofit projects where a dedicated valve base simplifies installation. In industrial pneumatic systems, this model commonly actuates cylinders, clamps, and other actuated devices, delivering reliable DC-driven operation with compatibility to standard pneumatic fittings and controllers.
