SMC Manifold 2x VQ1201N-5 10x VQ1101N-5 Solenoid Valve Assembly DB-25

SMC Manifold 2x VQ1201N-5 10x VQ1101N-5 Solenoid Valve Assembly DB-25

This is an SMC multi-station solenoid valve manifold assembly consisting of 12 valves — 2x VQ1201N-5 and 10x VQ1101N-5 — mounted on a common manifold base with a DB-25 (D-Sub 25-pin) data port for centralized electrical control. The manifold integrates multiple 5-port directional control solenoid valves into a single compact block, allowing a PLC or control system to direct pneumatic circuits through a single wiring connector.

Applications

SMC VQ1000-series solenoid valve manifolds are used in automated pneumatic systems where multiple actuators — cylinders, grippers, rotary actuators, or other pneumatic devices — must be controlled from a single electrical interface. The DB-25 data port allows a PLC or industrial controller to switch individual valves without running separate wiring to each solenoid, simplifying cabinet wiring and reducing installation time. These manifolds are common in factory automation, semiconductor handling equipment, pick-and-place systems, robotic assembly lines, and other precision pneumatic control applications. The VQ1000 series is a compact, high-cycle-life valve family from SMC well suited to clean-air industrial environments requiring fast response and reliable multi-axis directional control.
