Canfield Connector Proportional Drivers are proportional electronic controls offered in DIN 43650 form “A” housing or block styles that are meant to control the basic functions of a proportional hydraulic valve in a miniaturized environmentally resistant package.
Our unique all-in-one Series B5950 Block Micro Proportional Driver is used to control the flow of air or liquids through proportional solenoid valves. While this driver offers any array of adjustments, its palm-sized configuration is ideal for any size application.
The Series 5950 MPD (Micro Proportional Driver) provides accurate control of hydraulic and pneumatic proportional solenoid valves used in mobile construction equipment and industrial processes. It can also control the flow of air or liquid linearly between 0.10 – 20.0 seconds, and includes many different features such as an adjustment for minimum & maximum output current limits and adjustable ramping time.
Our robust Series D5400 Micro Solenoid Driver is a NEMA 4 DIN Style “A” EN175301-803 and MINI type connector with a built in electronic circuit used to induce solenoid pull-in and reduce holding current. The time proven MSD has been designed into many applications where heat buildup occurs which reduces operating efficiency and life span of solenoid valves. The MSD has two main functions: one is to induce faster or stronger than usual response times at solenoid pull-in, the second is to reduce the net wattage of the solenoid during hold-in.
About Canfield Connectors
Canfield Connector was founded in 1977 in a garage in Canfield, Ohio reselling German solenoid air valves to Volkswagen. In 1980 we introduced the first DIN 43650 style solenoid valve operator, as well as mating solenoid valve connectors to the North American solenoid valve market Lighted solenoid valve connectors soon followed in 1981. By the mid 80’s, the Canfield brand had become synonymous with German quality product coupled with US innovation.
Soon, we began manufacturing DIN 43650 connectors, timers, proportional solenoid drivers, and air cylinder position sensors. Product development marched on as we invented the first solid state inertial breaking system designed for Recreational Vehicle tow vehicles, Electronic timers for oxygen concentrators, electronics for valves used in the M1-A1 Abrahms Tank, media separated valves for home kidney dialysis, controls for air-dryers, flow/pressure/temperature all-in one sensors, as well as many other specific applications. With the new millennium, we had moved into our new 40,000 sq. ft. facility where we began molding our own plastic parts, developed our own surface mount electronics production line, perform laser welding, machining and assembling all in Boardman, Ohio.
In 2005 we changed our culture and earned an ISO 2001:2008 with Design certification for quality. We were the first in the solenoid valve industry to create a virtually indestructible all molded DIN 43650 connector that is copied but never replaced. The company holds many patents for innovation. Today our modern facility makes products that integrate IOT (Internet of Things) for Industry 4.0. Other products include linear actuator sensors, round style sensors, inclinometers, tilt switches, M12 and GT Series (Deutsch Style) mobile connectors, conveyor controls, Can Bus controls, special machine controls as well as time delay relays.
With over 100 associates Canfield Connector stands ready to take on your next big innovation and help you bring it to reality.
