Canfield Connector’s Series P5600 Micro Protective Connectors provide electrical controllers with surge protection against voltage spikes that are caused by the solenoids used on hydraulic and pneumatic solenoid valves. These MPCs are available in standard MINI, ISO, and Sub-Micro 8mm and 9.4mm. The P5600 connectors provide the advantages of suppression such as reduced contact burnoff which increases switch life and reduced high frequency interference pulses which lowers electronic noise. They are ideal for use with reed switch proximity sensors and will protect programmable controllers and other types of electronic devices from inductive spikes. The Series P5600 connectors are NEMA 4 and IP 65 dust tight and water resistant and do not require additional modules or hardware. Consult the manufacturer for available CSA versions.
