SMC Corporation VZA3120-M5 Pneumatic Solenoid Valve

SMC VZA3120-M5 is a 3/2 pilot-operated pneumatic solenoid valve in the VZA3000 family, designed for compact, precise control of small pneumatic actuators. This three-port, two-position valve (P, A, R) uses a single pilot to shift the main valve body and features a body-port type with M5x0.8 connections for both the body and the pilot port, enabling tight installation in confined spaces. The valve’s effective orifice is 3.6 mm² with a Cv of 0.2, which informs its flow capacity and actuation speed in typical automation circuits. As part of the VZA3000 series, the VZA3120-M5 is suited for applications such as directing air to small cylinders or other pneumatic devices in manufacturing lines, tooling, or packaging equipment where compact, reliable 3/2 control is required. The combination of a compact M5 pilot interface and a body-port configuration supports straightforward mounting and integration into existing SMC systems without sacrificing performance.
