How to Choose the Right Adapter

  1. Determine your connection type: Hardwired adapters allow custom wiring but require field assembly. Molded adapters come ready to use with predetermined cable lengths.
  2. Select protection circuit: Choose adapters with diode or MOV circuits for applications with inductive loads to protect against voltage spikes.
  3. Consider cable length: Molded adapters come in 2m, 5m, and 10m options. Select based on your installation requirements.
  4. Connector orientation: Choose between straight or right-angle versions based on your space constraints.
  5. Environmental requirements: All adapters offer IP65/67 protection, but consider additional environmental factors for your specific application.

Product Details

Major Electronix offers premium Omal Form A DIN 43650 to M12 adapters manufactured by Mencom, combining the reliability of Omal DIN connectors with the versatility of Mencom M12 connectivity. These adapters serve as the perfect bridge between traditional DIN 43650 valve systems and modern M12 sensor and actuator networks.

The DIN 43650 housings are constructed from high-quality polyamide, providing excellent electrical insulation and mechanical durability. The M12 connectors feature nickel-plated brass construction, ensuring optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance even in challenging industrial environments.

For applications involving inductive loads such as solenoids, select versions with integrated protection circuits are available. These include diode options for DC applications and MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) options for AC applications, protecting your control systems from harmful voltage spikes during switching operations.

The field wireable versions allow customization of connections directly at the installation site, while the molded cable versions offer convenience with pre-terminated cables in various lengths. The molded versions are available with male or female M12 connectors in both straight and right-angle configurations to accommodate any installation requirements.

These Form A DIN to M12 adapters excel in numerous industrial applications, with particular relevance to solenoid valve systems, pneumatic controls, and hydraulic equipment where reliable electrical connections are critical to system performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hardwired and molded adapters?

Hardwired adapters allow you to connect your own cables using screw terminals inside the connector housing. Molded adapters come with pre-attached cables of specific lengths (2m, 5m, or 10m) and are ready to use without additional assembly.

Why would I need a protection circuit in my adapter?

Protection circuits (diode or MOV) protect your control systems from voltage spikes generated when switching inductive loads like solenoids. They're especially important in applications where frequent switching occurs or where sensitive electronics are connected to the same system.

Can these adapters be used outdoors?

Yes, these adapters have IP65/67 protection ratings when properly installed, making them suitable for outdoor use. However, for extreme environments, additional protection measures may be recommended.

What is the warranty period for these products?

All our Form A to M12 adapters come with a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranty options may be available for qualifying orders.

Are these adapters compatible with all DIN 43650 Form A solenoid valves?

These adapters are designed to be compatible with standard DIN 43650 Form A (industrial size) valve connectors. However, we recommend verifying your specific valve's specifications to ensure compatibility.
