Overview
The SMC VV5Q21-08-DAN00 is a base-mounted, plug-in solenoid valve manifold designed for the VQ 2000 series of directional control valves. This 8-station manifold block delivers reliable fluid control for pneumatic and low-pressure hydraulic applications. The DAN00 designator indicates multi-connector wiring, providing flexible integration into automated production systems.
Key Features
- 8-station capacity with space-saving single-side solenoid and fitting design
- Multi-connector (DAN00) configuration for simplified wiring harness integration
- Plug-in valve mounting—no disassembly required for valve replacement
- Built-in one-touch fittings reduce piping labor and installation time
- Compatible with VQ 2000 series 4/5-port solenoid valves
- Designed for high-speed, frequent operation with stable response time
