DG4V-3-2N-MPA5-W-B-40

The DG4V-3-2N-MPA5-W-B-40 directional valve belongs to the DG4 Directional Valves series and is produced by Vickers for hydraulic automation circuits. It controls flow paths in subplate-mounted manifolds, because its mounting type is subplate mounted. Compatibility with standardized port patterns is maintained through an ISO 4401-03 (CETOP 3) mounting interface, and the NFPA D03 size aligns the valve with common North American subplates. The spool is a type 2 closed center element, so all ports are blocked in the neutral position to hold actuators stationary and prevent pressure loss when the valve is de-energized. Actuation is supplied by a wet armature solenoid that places the coil in hydraulic oil for reduced noise and longer service life. The assembly is rated for 350 bar (5075 psi), allowing it to serve high-pressure industrial power units without derating.

Electrical integration is simplified by an Insta-Plug PA5 five-pin connector, which provides a keyed interface for coil power and pilot signals while supporting quick field replacement. A wiring housing thread of 1/2-14 NPT grants a standard conduit entry so the installer can seal electrical leads against oil and dust. These features reduce assembly time and maintain environmental protection in mobile or stationary equipment. Vickers developed the DG4 series to give machine builders a consistent valve envelope across multiple pressure classes, so users can interchange models without redesigning manifolds or panels. In combination with the compact connector and conduit thread, the DG4V-3-2N-MPA5-W-B-40 fits neatly into automated presses, plastic injection machines, and other hydraulic systems where reliable directional control and straightforward service access are priorities.
