Product details
Danfoss Cable Plug for Type B Coils | DIN 43650-A | 042N1256
Product Description: The 042N1256 is the standard “Big DIN” (DIN 43650-A) connector used to power Danfoss solenoid valves. In the UAE—where solenoid valves are everywhere from irrigation systems in Al Ain to refrigeration racks in Dubai—this plug ensures that the electrical supply to the coil is protected from environmental hazards. It features a robust polyamide housing and a rubber gasket that, when tightened, creates a dust-tight and water-jet-resistant seal. This is essential for preventing short circuits caused by the high humidity and fine sand particles common in Middle Eastern industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Universal Coil Compatibility: Specifically engineered for Danfoss Type B coils (042N, 018F, 018Z), ensuring a perfect mechanical and electrical fit.
- IP65 Enclosure Rating: Provides excellent protection against dust and low-pressure water, making it suitable for outdoor and wash-down areas in UAE facilities.
- Durable PG11 Cable Gland: Accommodates a wide range of cable diameters while providing superior strain relief and a tight environmental seal.
- Easy Field Wiring: Features accessible screw terminals, allowing UAE maintenance teams to quickly wire or replace the plug without specialized tools.
- High Thermal Stability: Made from heat-resistant materials that can withstand the high ambient temperatures found in UAE machine rooms and rooftop installations.

FAQs:
- Q: Does this plug include the fixing screw and gasket?
- A: Yes, the 042N1256 comes complete with the terminal block, housing, rubber gasket, and central fixing screw.
- Q: Can I use this plug with 24V DC and 220V AC coils?
- A: Yes, the plug is rated for a wide voltage range, but always ensure your wiring and cable specifications match the specific coil voltage being used in your UAE project.
- Q: Is the PG11 gland better than PG9 for UAE installations?
- A: PG11 allows for slightly thicker, more robust industrial cables, which are often preferred in heavy-duty UAE industrial applications for better durability.
