DIN 43650 valve connectors

September 2002 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Woodhead Connectivity's mPm DIN connectors are manufactured to meet hydraulic and pneumatic requirements for quick-disconnect connectors. mPm connectors support all DIN 43650 connector sizes, providing solutions for connecting all solenoid valves, pressure switches and transducers.

The range offers a comprehensive selection of connectors that include circuit adapters to provide electrical protection, LED indication on existing installations and DIN 43650 bases to provide the DIN 43650 interface to devices for quick-disconnect capabilities. Plug-in modules provide timer, proportional valve control, amplifier and power output interfaces at the valve level. Field attachable connectors provide for 'on the spot' wiring of DIN 43650 enabled devices, enabling quick-disconnection capabilities.

DIN single-ended cordsets provide a robust connector and pre-wired cable while eliminating costly troubleshooting time associated with field attachable units. DIN double-ended cordsets provide a 'plug and play' option of tapping into multi-port interconnection systems.

Connectors are constructed of glass-reinforced polyamide with silver-plated brass contacts, and are available in 18 mm DIN Form A, 11 mm industry standard B, 10 mm DIN form B, 9,4 mm industry standard B and 8 mm DIN form C.

The mPm range provides quick and easy disconnection of hydraulic electromechanical devices, pneumatic electromechanical devices and pressure switches. They are suitable for use in common industrial applications such as robotics, fluid power equipment and OEM pressure transducers and switches.
