Overview
The SMC NVZ3120-5DZB-M5 is a 4/5-port solenoid-operated directional control valve designed for pneumatic automation and manual-override applications. As a body-ported VZ3000 series valve, it integrates solenoid actuation with optional pilot control, making it suitable for systems requiring reliable switching between multiple port configurations. Though discontinued by SMC, this model remains a drop-in solution for legacy pneumatic control networks.
Key Features
- 4/5-port directional control with solenoid actuation
- Body-ported configuration for compact manifold integration
- 24VDC solenoid coil for standard industrial control voltage
- Operating pressure range 0.15–0.7 MPa (22–102 psi)
- M5 cavity port connections for modular assembly
- Manual override (push-button or lever) for emergency operation
