Molex mPm DIN Valve Connector Solutions Emphasise Performance and Reliability

The Brad® mPm® range of DIN connectors is used extensively to provide electrical connection in a wide range of applications. The most common application for mPm 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.

Features & Benefits

• Ergonomic external-nut design for External thread versions – Provide greater and consistent torque for more uniform seal between connector and cable. 20% greater cable-retention force over internal-nut design for increased reliability
• IP67-rated when mated
• 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
• 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
• Three packaging options to meet customer requirements, includes ‘ready-to-use’ un-mounted condition to reduce labour time and associated cost
• 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
• Available UL-listed: UL file number E218123
