No lubrication required. Possible to use in vacuum or under low pressures 

2. External pilot 

Vacuum: Up to –101.2 kPa, Low pressure: 0 to 0.2 MPa 

3. Changeable actuation: N.C., N.O., or external pilot 

4. Can be used as a selector or divider valve (External pilot)



■ Symbol

smc pilot solenoid valve

vacuum solenoid valve

pilot operated solenoid valve

* Use external pilot type in the following cases: 

  1)For vacuum or for low pressure 0.2 MPa or less. 

  2)When having P port downsized in diameter.

Impact/Vibration resistance*2)150/50 m/s2

*1) Based on dynamic performance test JIS B 8419: 2010. (Coil temperature 20°C, at rated voltage, without surge voltage suppressor) 

*2) Impact resistance: No malfunction occurred when it is tested with a drop tester in the axial direction and at the right angles to the   main valve and armature in both energized and de-energized states every once for each condition. (Values   at the initial period) 

      Vibration resistance: No malfunction occurred in a one-sweep test between 45 and 1000 Hz. Test was performed at both energized  and de-energized states in the axial direction and at the right angles to the main valve and armature.   (Values at the initial period)

■ How to Change Passage State

When changing the passage state, confirm that pressure has been removed from the valve. Unscrew the M4 x 0.7 hexagon socket head cap screw in the changeover plate and match the◀mark on the adapter plate with the character on the changeover plate. Piping is as follows.

Universal porting (Piping of inlet pressure side is possible anywhere)

*1) In the case of internal pilot, confirm that a plug is inserted to X port. If not, insert a R 1/8 plug. 

*2) In the case of external pilot, supply air pressure from X port. 

Confirm the safety sufficiently and conduct carefully when changing the passage state or restarting after changes.
