Abstract
Abstract Described herein is a power feeder for electromagnetic valves, comprising: a solenoid casing having male terminals for an exciting coil in a connecting section on one side wall thereof; a terminal plate having female terminals to be connected to said male terminals and relay terminals consisting of a pair of L-shaped pins electrically connected to the female terminals; and a cover attached to the connecting section in such a manner as to enclose the terminal plate on the connecting section and provided with at least one connector socket at a position opposing one arms of the L-shaped relay terminal pins. This power feeder arrangement permits to couple a connector to the terminal selectively from one of two perpendicularly intersecting directions and to universalize the male terminals of the solenoid as well as the terminal plate to be connected thereto.

A power feeder for electromagnetic valves, comprising: a solenoid casing having male terminals at a connecting section on a side wall thereof; a terminal plate provided with female terminals to be connected to said male terminals and relay terminals constituted by a pair of L-shaped pins electrically connected to said female terminals; and a cover attached to said connecting section of said solenoid casing in such a manner as to enclose the connecting section and provided with at least a connector socket at a position opposing one of said relay terminal pins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
61 words
The power feeder for electromagnetic valves of claim 1, wherein said terminal plate includes a base plate, L-shaped relay terminal pins mounted through said base plate and having arms thereof extended forward and upward of said base plate, electric and electronic parts mounted on said base plate, and a circuit electrically connecting said electric and electronic parts to said relay terminals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
42 words
The power feeder for electromagnetic valve of calim 1 or 2, wherein said cover is provided with connector sockets at positions opposing both of said relay terminal pins, selectively inserting a connector of a common construction in one of said connector sockets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The power feeder for electromagnetic valve of calim 1 or 2, wherein said cover is provided with connector sockets at positions opposing both of said relay terminal pins, selectively inserting a connector of a common construction in one of said connector sockets.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The power feeder for electromagnetic valve of claim 1 or 2, wherein said cover is provided with a connector socket at a position opposing one of said relay terminal pins and closed at a position opposing the other one of said relay terminal pins.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
