Product Highlights

Locking Style: NEMA Rating: Industry Standards:
External thread, field attachableIP67Conforms to EN175301-803 (DIN 43650)

Features and Benefits

Ergonomic external-nut design:
• Provides greater and consistent torque for more uniform seal between connector and cable
• 20% greater cable-retention force over internal-nut designs for increased reliability

Each connector accommodates PG9, PG11 cable, up to 9.00mm outer diameter:
• One size fits all; cost savings achieved through inventory reduction

Internal volume of Form C housing increased by 30% with no change to external dimensions of connector:
• Improves handling, wire routing and speed of assembly over internal-nut version

Plus / minus screw head on terminal:
• Enables use of air tools in volume production and screwdriver can be used by the installer in a field application

IP67-rated when mated:
• Improved sealing from IP65

Standard circuitry options available include LED and bi-polar LED indicators, blocking diodes and voltage-dependent resistors (VDRs):
• Built-in circuit protection and LED indicators to meet a wide range of customer design requirements

Three packaging options to meet customer requirements, includes • ‘ready-to-use’ un-mounted (disassembled) condition:
Unmounted packaging reduces labor time and associated costs

Available UL listed: UL file number E218123:
• Globally saleable. UL listing covers sale in America and Canada

Overview

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

Molex manufactures an extensive and comprehensive range of internal- and external-thread connectors conforming to industry standard EN 175301-803 (formerly DIN 43650). Standard options include LED illuminated devices as well as VDR, diodes or transil diodes (with or without illuminated device) to offer protection against overvoltage peaks. Brad DIN mPm connectors offer protection from dust and water when correctly installed with screw and gasket which are supplied together with the connector.

Molex’s field-attachable, external-nut design 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 style, gaskets and circuitry options.
