What it is. A complete SMC solenoid valve manifold built for Panasonic SMT equipment — one body that groups the pneumatic solenoid valve positions instead of a set of loose valves. Because the stations are already assembled and ported on the body, the unit is replaced as a whole when a station stops switching or a sealing face wears.
Where it works. Assemblies like this sit inside the pneumatic circuit of Panasonic placement equipment, serving head and nozzle functions during SMT component placement. Technicians usually reach them during scheduled maintenance, or after a head begins to respond slowly or unevenly.
How it is bought. Most orders are one assembly for a live repair, often with a second unit kept on the shelf so an unplanned stop does not wait on a delivery.

One station or the whole group. If a single valve has stopped switching and the manifold body is sound, replacing that one station can be the quicker and cheaper repair. The complete assembly becomes the right choice when the fault sits in the group itself — a cracked or corroded body, a sealing face that no longer holds, or air leaking across stations.
What it means in the stores. A single valve keeps one head running; a manifold keeps a whole section of the head working. Plenty of workshops hold one manifold as a spare and treat the individual valve stations as consumables, deciding which to fit only after the failed unit is opened.
Why the number matters. The manifold and the valves on it carry separate numbers, and the original solenoid valve manufacturers issue several variants in this family that look almost identical from the outside. The number stamped on the body is the reliable identifier, not the shape or the finish of the housing.
ZJ-SMT supplies Panasonic SMT and PCB assembly equipment and spare parts to manufacturers worldwide. Our range covers pick-and-place machines, axial and radial insertion equipment, solder paste inspection systems, and feeder spare parts, with both new and used options available. We support bulk orders, and machine condition and availability are confirmed with you before ordering. Whether you are expanding a line, replacing a worn feeder part, or sourcing equipment for a new project, send us your model numbers and our team will come back with a suitable solution and quotation.
It identifies the valve bank fitted to this manifold. The VQZ prefix supports the SMC valve series, and the remaining characters describe the particular configuration. When you check an old unit, match the whole string — shortening it to the first few characters is a common way to end up with a unit that will not fit.
It is supplied for Panasonic SMT equipment, and as a solenoid valve supplier for those lines we match it against your machine model before confirming the fit. Valve layouts and connectors change between machine generations, so send the model and the number from the old assembly.
Yes. Our range covers SMT solenoid valve parts at both levels — complete manifolds like this one and the individual valve stations used on them. Tell us the number printed on the part you are replacing, or send a photo if the label has worn, and we will match the item.
In most workshops, yes. A manifold swap is a mechanical job: isolate the air supply, disconnect the lines and the connector, release the mounting fixings and refit in reverse. Photograph the line routing before you start, and check the port faces for leaks after the first air-up.
Keep it in its box on a dry, dust-free shelf, away from heavy items that could distort the port faces. SMT solenoid valve parts are precision items, so a labelled position and a protective bag make the assembly quicker to find and fit when a line stops.
Send clear photos of the assembly from a couple of angles, plus the machine model and the position it came from. Working from photos is often faster than trying to read a faded label, and it lets us identify the assembly before you take the machine offline.
