The receptacle is a standard
three or five pole connector
with shortened leads and
terminals added. The five
pole plug has four leads 101,6
(4.0) long and one 177,8 (7.0)
long. The three pole plug has
two leads 101,6 (4.0) long
and one 177,8 (7.0). All wires
have underwriters recognized
non-solder insulated eyelet
terminals. The green wire is
used for the ground (earth)
connection (No. 8 screw fur-
nished). Valves are supplied
pre-wired.

Electrical Plugs
and Connectors
Terminal strip and lights
For valves with type “F” coils.
1. For DC coils the +ve
lead(s) must be connected
to the terminal(s) marked +.
When using 3-wire incom-
ing leads to double solenoid
valves (i.e. common neutral)
the inner pair of terminals
must be interconnected.
2. For correct light indica-
tion of energized solenoid
ensure that solenoid leads
are correctly connected: light
terminals are common with
each outer pair of solenoid
terminals according to the
side with + mark.
DG4V-3(S)---FPA---60
DG4V-3(S)---FPBW---60
Eaton 2-part “Insta-Plug”
eliminates breaking electrical
inputs for valve disconnect.
A male half is pre-wired to
the valve body. The mating
plug is inside a wire housing
with external terminals for
machine wire connections.
Captive thumb screws, when
loosened, permit the wire
housing to be pulled clear of
the valve for disconnect. A
longer ground post provides
first make/last break ground
connection.
The PBW configuration com-
bines both male and female
plugs in the wiring housing for
a self-contained plug-in unit.
Optional solenoid indicator
lights are pre-wired to the
female plug. Solenoids “A”
and/or “B” are identified on
the wiring housing.

Surge Suppression Devices
(For DC Valves)
Standard diode (D1), (D2)
Diode in parallel with coil,
positive bias. When switch
(S1) is opened, the energy
stored in the coil is trapped
and dissipated by the diode
(D1), (D2).
• Works only with DC voltage
• Polarity dependent
• Increase drop out time

(For DC Valves)

• Works only with DC voltage
• Polarity dependent

Transzorb (D7)
Diode and Zener diode in par-
allel with coil. When switch
(S1) is opened, the energy
stored in the coil is trapped
and dissipated by the diode
(D1) and Zener diode (Z1) and
the coil resistance.
• The Zener makes exact
limitation of inductive
spikes.
• Works only with DC voltage
• Polarity dependent
NOTE: These surge suppression
devices are “Polarity Dependent.”
Proper biasing conditions must be
met when installing/connecting a
coil in a system. Times represent
cessation/application of voltage to
coil versus velocity (start/stop) of
a cylinder using a single solenoid,
spring offset valve (time in mil-
liseconds).
