These connectors are designed to meet the harsh demands of hard practical day-to-day work in every form. They are square or rectangular in shape and are commonly used on pneumatic, electro-magnetic and hydraulic actuators.

Various components can be built into the housings of the GDM series connectors in instances where they have not been integrated into the application, including: 

• Optical status displays
• Rectifiers
• Protective elements

Often used in industrial environments, the Hirschmann GDM series is available in the three shell sizes A, B and C. These each include crimp, screw and solder termination.

Type-B
EN 175301-803-B Standard (formerly DIN 43650). Often referred to as 10mm pin spacing type.

Type-B
Industrial Standard (formerly NEMA standard). Often referred to as 11mm pin spacing type.

Type-C
EN 175301-803-C Standard (formerly DIN 43650). Often referred to as 8mm pin spacing type.

Type-C
Industrial Standard (formerly NEMA standard). Often referred to as 9.4mm pin spacing type.

A number of electronic components, including LED function indicators and rectifiers, are also available for the connectors, as well as the basic 2+PE an 3+PE field attachable versions.

Among the key features of these products are:
