CANFIELD IND.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CANFIELD IND. from 3G Electric.
What is a Canfield Industries 2+ ground down solenoid valve connector?
A Canfield Industries 2+ ground down solenoid valve connector is an electrical connector with two current-carrying contacts and a ground contact positioned in a specific orientation. The 'ground down' designation refers to the ground contact location, which helps ensure correct polarization when mating with a solenoid valve. These connectors are used to interface with solenoid valves from brands such as ARO, ASCO, Dayton, Norgren, Parker, and Spartan. They provide a secure electrical connection in industrial plumbing and fluid control systems. When specifying, confirm the valve brand and series, the connector form, and the contact arrangement. 3G Electric stocks multiple part numbers, including G5100-1090000 and G5103-1090000, and can provide specifications and quotes.
What is the difference between a Form A ISO DIN connector and a 2+ ground down connector from Canfield Industries?
Form A ISO DIN connectors from Canfield Industries follow a standardized dimensional and electrical interface defined by ISO 4400 (also known as DIN 43650 Form A). This standardization allows them to mate with many solenoid valves that use the same interface, regardless of valve brand. The 2+ ground down configuration is a specific contact arrangement with two current-carrying contacts and a ground contact in a particular position. While both types provide electrical connections to solenoid valves, Form A ISO DIN is a broader standard, whereas 2+ ground down is a specific variant. The choice depends on the valve's inlet and the required contact configuration. 3G Electric carries both types, including part numbers 5J664-000-130G and G5100-1090000.
Which solenoid valve brands do Canfield Industries connectors fit?
Canfield Industries solenoid valve connectors are designed to fit valves from ARO, ASCO, Dayton, Norgren, Parker, and Spartan, among others. The fit depends on the specific connector model and the valve's electrical interface. For example, a Form A ISO DIN connector may fit any valve with a compatible ISO 4400 interface, while a 2+ ground down connector is matched to valves that use that specific contact arrangement. When ordering, verify the valve brand, series, and connector standard. 3G Electric lists the compatible brands in the product specifications for each Canfield Industries connector SKU, such as 20XG64 and 20XG67.
What are the typical applications for Canfield Industries solenoid valve connectors?
Canfield Industries solenoid valve connectors are used in industrial plumbing, fluid control, automation, irrigation, and water treatment systems. They provide the electrical interface between control wiring and solenoid valves, which control the flow of liquids or gases. In automation, these connectors are part of the control loop that energizes or de-energizes valve coils. In irrigation and water treatment, they are used in valve manifolds and distribution systems. The connectors are also found in general industrial plumbing where solenoid valves regulate fluid flow. 3G Electric supplies these connectors for maintenance, repair, and new installations across these application areas.
How do I select the correct Canfield Industries solenoid valve connector for my valve?
To select the correct Canfield Industries solenoid valve connector, first identify the valve brand and model. Then determine the connector standard required, such as Form A ISO DIN or a 2+ ground down configuration. Check the number of contacts and the ground position. Verify the electrical ratings, including voltage and current, match the valve coil. Consider environmental factors like moisture and temperature, and choose a connector with appropriate ingress protection if needed. The manufacturer part number, such as G5100-1010000 or 5J664-501-EU0G, uniquely identifies the connector. 3G Electric provides product specifications and can assist with matching the connector to your valve.
Does 3G Electric stock Canfield Industries solenoid valve connectors for global delivery?
Yes, 3G Electric stocks multiple Canfield Industries solenoid valve connector SKUs and provides logistics support for global delivery. The catalog includes part numbers such as G5100-1090000, G5100-1010000, 5J664-000-130G, G5103-1090000, 5J664-501-EU0G, and G5107-1090000.
