Solenoid valve connection

Hello Guest,

You don't say what exact type or model the valves are, so it is difficult to answer your question correctly.

Try the helpful folks at:

They will be for the standard IEC plug which is held in place by a screw in the centre.

They come in small size or standard sizes and have a sealing gland for cable entry as well as a seal to mate with the socket.

Ask any pneumatics supplier for a handful, they are dirt cheap!

Look here for specs

You should have looked them up on the manufacturers web site.

That is the sorce of all knowledge about a particular device and I can not figure out why more people do not do that first.

The connector you are referring to is called a DIN Connector.

It has been used in American Industries for over 30 years.

The advantage is quick and easy replacement of non functioning solenoids and/or valves.

Most electrical supply houses would have these as well as the Fluid Power Distributors. They are not brand specific, everyone uses the same plug.

Thanks everyone. Canfield has an excellent catalog and I will order from them. There are several sizes of this particular configuration.

As far as using the Parker website, it is one of the worst. I tried several times but found nothing.

I know of only one worse and that is SKF.

When I was a plant maintenance and engineering manager, we usually installed DIN connectors with status indicating lights. These light in the right applications can make trouble shooting much easier.
