SMC Corporation VX2242L-02N-5GS1-B 2-Way Media Valve

SMC VX2242L-02N-5GS1-B is a direct-operated, 2-port solenoid valve from SMC’s VX22 family, designed for 6 mm tube connections in compact pneumatic circuits. This 2-way valve provides direct, pilotless actuation when the coil is energized, shifting the flow path between the two ports and enabling straightforward integration in automation controllers. The VX2242L-02N-5GS1-B sits within the VX21/ VX22/ VX23 direct-operated series, which include 2-port, 6 mm port variants across the family, as documented in SMC catalogs and older VX2 literature. Distributor listings corroborate the model, with MonotaRO listing VX2242L-02N-5G1-B and MISUMI noting VX2242L-02N-5GS1-B in the VX2/VXK catalog range. This valve is suited to pneumatic control in automation equipment, including valve manifolds and inline circuits where space is at a premium and reliable actuation is required.
