Overview
The SMC VV5Q21-04C4FU0-NS manifold is a proven 4-station base-mounted pneumatic valve platform designed for VQ2000-series solenoid valves. This used unit delivers reliable control over multiple independent pneumatic circuits in a compact footprint, making it ideal for industrial automation systems, packaging machinery, and assembly equipment. The plug-in architecture enables rapid valve replacement without full manifold disassembly, reducing maintenance downtime.
Key Features
- 4-station base-mounted configuration for multiple solenoid valves
- Plug-in design allows valve changes without manifold removal
- D-sub electrical connector (25-pin standard) for straightforward wiring integration
- One-touch fittings (4 mm ports on this model) for quick pneumatic connections
- Space-saving design with side-mounted solenoids and fittings
- Compatible with SMC VQ2000-series 3-port, 2-position control valves

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
This specific unit (VV5Q21-04C4FU0-NS) is a direct replacement for identical OEM configurations. For alternative 4-station manifold models from SMC, verify port size, electrical connector type, and mounting method before substitution. Similar models in the VV5Q21 series with different configurations (e.g., 6 mm ports, 15-pin connector, DIN rail mount) are not drop-in replacements.
Works With
- SMC solenoid valve coil kits (24 VDC/AC standard)
- Pneumatic cylinders (SAK, C95/C96, CJ2, and equivalent)
- One-touch pneumatic fittings and push-to-connect tubing
- Standard 25-pin D-sub cabling and connectors
- Industrial automation software and I/O modules supporting parallel valve control logic
