Question for you guys...
I have some old school Blitzluft valves. Their missing the din connectors.
Will the connectors from GC or Asco fit?

Are you talking about the square block that hooks to the side of the actuator? If so what is the configuration of the prongs on the actuator/connector....

Have you thought about using a relay socket and just drop 2 of the wires? Why not just use some spade connectors?

Do you still have the old connector that was on it? The connector was probably just there to make the valve setup much cleaner. If you can...hardwire it using some spade connectors instead of running those sockets (As ryan stated). The prongs on that connector...what do they say? One of those leads has to be a hot wire while the other is ground...try and find out which prong does what. Good luck!

Looked at one of the 3 prong ASCO din's here at work.... The only two issues I see is that the ASCO uses 3 male prongs were your pick showes two female. Its an easy fix though.... the other is the prong layout.... compare it to the DIN dimensions and see if it will work for ya www.ascovalve.com/Common/PDFFiles/Product/DIN_Connectors.pdf |

Instead of running a DIN connector why dont ya just run your hot wires from the switch box to the hot lead of the valve and ground the valve out on itself or to a close by ground point (If mounted on the frame). It would look clean and lessen up the wires for sure. Just route them nice and organised and you should be good to go!

Just route them nice and organised and you should be good to go! i want to run a DIN connector so it cover the prongs. and it would be the same amount of wires. |

As long as the dim's for the prongs line up there is no reason why it wont work..... just don't hook up the 4th wire.
