SMC VV5QC41-08C12FSD0 Pneumatic Valve Manifold

The SMC VV5QC41-08C12FSD0 is an eight-station base-mounted plug-in manifold designed for the VQC4000 family of four- and five-port solenoid valves, enabling compact, modular pneumatic control in automation equipment. The 08C12 in the part number denotes eight valve positions and 12 mm fittings, meaning the manifold provides eight 12 mm connection points for streamlined tubing and quick assembly. This plug-in unit groups eight valves into a single manifold block for centralized actuation, reducing piping length and simplifying maintenance in automated systems that require multiple independent air circuits. Configurations in the VV5QC41 family are also offered with integration options such as EX260 EtherNet I/P modules for networked control and monitoring, demonstrating the platform’s flexibility for multifunction automation configurations. Suitable applications include multi-station actuation in compact automation lines, such as clamping, workpiece handling, and actuating multiple cylinders in a single, space-saving valve bank. Because suffix variations exist across VV5QC41 configurations (for example, different accessory kits and wiring options), users should verify the exact features of a given part-number variant to ensure compatibility with their VQC4000 valves and any network or I/O needs.
