GDMF Connectors
GDMF – new generation of
Hirschmann™ brand field
attachable valve
connectors in a flat and
ergonomic design with
compact dimensions as
well as ultimate resistance
to vibration and shock
The new generation of Hirschmann™ GDMF
field attachable rectangular valve connectors is
a strong addition to our already broad product
portfolio. The proven technology is now brought
to market in an extremely flat and ergonomic
design, which meets the ever growing demand
for highly compact rectangular connectors.
With a height of just 26 mm, the rectangular
connectors in protection class IP65/IP67 have a
perfect fit in any given application. To guarantee
the highest requirements of resistance to
vibration and shock, the new GDMF range also
features the patented combi-contact known
from the proven GDM series. The contact is
designed for a wide range of cable gauges up to
1.5 mm² with diameters from 4.5 to 8 mm (in a
UL approved version from 4.0 to 6.7 mm).
Versatile Product with Multiple Options
The new valve connectors are available with
or without electronic insert with three or four
contacts (2+PE or 3+PE). A captive seal and
non-slip surfaces on both sides provide for
ease of assembly and disassembly. In addition,
the standard versions can be used within a
temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Compatibility and Wider Range of Use
The Hirschmann™ GDMF valve connectors
are compatible with all appliance connectors
according to EN 175301-803 type A. The use
of this solution is recommended particularly
in applications requiring a combination of
benefits of the well-known GDM-series, such
as ease of assembly, with extremely compact
design. The series also includes a version with
integrated strain relief that already meets the
requirements of the new UL specification 2238.
This and further approvals, such as VDE and CSA,
permit the GDMF valve connectors to be used in
applications worldwide.
Because of their great versatility and extended
application fit, the new flat GDMF valve
connectors can be used in an even wider range
of markets.
This provides a perfect Hirschmann™ connector
solution for any application – in the usual high
Hirschmann™ quality and regardless of field of
use or temperature range. Due to their multiple
configuration possibilities and optional UL
version with strain relief, the valve connector
A, B and C series meet all requirements for
hydraulic, pneumatic and electromagnetic
actuator and sensor applications.
