Abstract

A solenoid valve battery includes in each case a solenoid valve (9), which exhibits coil contacts and can be constructed advantageously for the variation of the number of device components for the handling of connections and for cable assembly as well as with respect to its device size. A pluggable connector module (13) is furnished for the contacting of the protective grounded conductor (19), of the signal line, and of the neutral conductor (20). At least one protective grounded conductor (19) and/or a parallel running neutral conductor (20) are through-connected and running in the longitudinal extension direction (17) of the strip. The grounded conductor (19) and the neutral conductor (20) can be contacted by plugging the connector modules (13) together in longitudinal direction. A signal line (21) is furnished individually at each connector module (13) and includes a connector clamp (23) at an input (22) and a connection to the corresponding coil contact (20a) at an output (24).
