Abstract
Electric connecting device for electrically controlled, so called pilot valves (21-25) connected to a corresponding number of valves (1-5) in a modular valve array. Each pilot valve has equally placed contact pins (26,27,28), which are connected to a common, flexible connecting cable (29) with a plurality of conductors (29) over an electric connecting module (30). Each connecting module (30) is constituted by a coupling plate (32) provided with on the one hand contact sockets (33,34,35) for connection to said contact pins (26,27,28) of the respective pilot valve, and on the other hand a multipolar contact means (37), which is connectable to a corresponding cable contact means (38), which is connected to conductors of the common connecting cable (29). The coupling plate (32) is provided with an array of preferably controllable electrical connections (36) for the desired connection between said multipolar cable contact means (37) and said contact sockets (33,34,35).
