DIN Valve Connectors

Molex's external-thread DIN valve connectors provide unsurpassed IP67 sealing properties and superior cable retention, increase performance, simplify manufacturing processes, reduce inventory, and lower applied costs for hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromagnetic devices as well as sensors.

The DIN connectors are used extensively to provide electrical connection in a wide range of applications. The most common application for DIN connectors is in conjunction with pneumatic, hydraulic, or electromagnetic devices, including solenoid valves. Other applications include pressure transducers, proximity switches, level sensors, limit switches, and low energy motors.

These connectors feature a field-attachable, external-nut design that is mechanically superior to traditional internal-nut DIN valve connectors, achieving greater cable retention and improved sealing to IP67. Standard internal thread DIN valve connectors are IP65 rated and available with different thread styles, gaskets, and circuitry options.

Features

• Ergonomic external-nut design provides greater and consistent torque for a more uniform seal between connector and cable and 20% greater cable-retention force over internal-nut designs for improved reliability
• Cost and inventory savings are achieved through a “one size fits all” capability, where each connector accommodates PG9 and PG11 cable up to 9.00 mm outer diameter
• Improved handling, wire routing, and speed of assembly over the internal-nut version is achieved by a 30% increase in internal Form C volume with no change to the external dimensions of the connector
• IP67 rated when mated
• Built-in circuit protection and LED indicators
