3 Port Solenoid Valve

Direct Operated Poppet Type

Series VK300
Rubber Seal

[Option]

VV061
Universal porting

Specifications

Available for N.C. valve, N.O. valve, divider

valve, selector valve, etc.

C: 0.80 dm3/(sbar)
(Passage 2 3)

Compact: Width 18 x Length 63 (mm)

Low power consumption
4 W DC (Standard type)
2 W DC (Low wattage type)

Suitable for use in vacuum

applications 101.2 kPa
Suitable for use in copper-free
applications
The portions that come in contact with fluids do
not contain copper, thus enabling the standard
product to be used as is.

Note1) Based on dynamic performance test, JIS B 8374-1981. (Coil temperature: 20C, at rated voltage,
without surge suppressor)
Note2) 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 2000 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)

1. Since this valve has slight air leakage,

it can not be used for holding vacuum
(including positive pressure holding) in
the pressure container.

Recommended for continuous duty with

long time loading.

Precautions on connection of 24 V or more DC

Grommet type should be connected as following;
Red lead wire for (+) side, Black lead wire for ()
side respectively.
With the DIN terminal, connect the positive (+) side
to the connectors no. 1 terminal, and the negative
() side to the no. 2 terminal. [Refer to the marks
on the terminal board.]
For 12 VDC or below, there is no positive (+) or
negative () directionality.

Vacuum Spec. Type: VK33V (VK33W)

In contrast to the standard product, this
vacuum specification valve has less air
leakage at low pressures, a feature that
should be taken into consideration when
using this valve for vacuum applications.

When mounting a valve on the manifold

base or sub-plate, etc., the mounting
orientation is already decided. If mounted
in a wrong direction, the equipment to be
connected may result in malfunction.
Refer to pages 1983 to 1987 for external
dimensions in mounting.

Use caution in wiring because it will not meet

the IP65 (enclosure) standard if you use the
other cable than prescribed heavy-duty cable of
size (3.5 to 7).
Tighten the ground nut and set screw within the
specified range of torque.
Change of electrical entry (Orientation)
After separating terminal block and housing,
the cable entry direction can be changed by
attaching the housing in the desired direction
(4 directions in 90 increments).
In the case of w/ indicator light, avoid
damaging the light with lead wire.
Precautions
Plug a connector in or out vertically, never at
an angle.

Connection
1. Loosen the set screw and pull out the
connector from the terminal block of the
solenoid.
2. Remove screw and insert screwdriver into
the slit area near the bottom of terminal
block to separate block and housing.
3. Loosen the terminal screws (slotted
screws) on the terminal block, insert the
core of the lead wire into the terminal,
and attach securely with the terminal
screws.
4. Tighten the ground nut to secure the cable.

Marking
AC, 12 VDC or
less for DC

For 24 V or more

1. This model is for continuous duty, not

for high cycle rates. But even in low
cycle rates, if energizing the valve more
than once a day, please consult with
SMC.
2. Energizing solenoid should be done at
least once in 30 days.

How to Calculate the Flow Rate

For obtaining the flow rate, refer to front
matters 42 to 45.
