Overview
The SMC VV5Q11-08C6FU0-NS-X50US is a precision-engineered 8-station pneumatic solenoid valve manifold block manufactured by SMC, a leader in pneumatic automation. This manifold integrates multiple solenoid valve stations into a single compact assembly, enabling efficient directional control of compressed air across eight independent circuits. The modular architecture allows for high-speed, frequent operation with stable response time and extended service life, making it ideal for manufacturing lines, automation equipment, and pneumatic process control systems.
Key Features
- 8-Station Configuration: Simultaneous control of up to eight pneumatic circuits from a single manifold block
- VQ Series Design: Optimized for high-speed switching and frequent cyclic operation with minimal drift
- One-Touch Fittings: Built-in push-to-connect ports reduce installation time and labor costs
- Modular Valve Design: Individual solenoid valve units can be swapped or reconfigured without full manifold disassembly
- Space-Saving Footprint: Integrated manifold reduces overall system size and simplifies plumbing
- Three-Directional Mounting: Flexible installation orientation to fit your system layout

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
Contact your SMC distributor or system integrator to confirm specific cross-reference models. The VV5Q11 series serves as the replacement for older SMC manifold assemblies with comparable 8-station requirements. Do not assume interchangeability without verifying port patterns, cavity spacing, and electrical connector types.
