Abstract:
An electric power supplying apparatus for a solenoid valve manifold characterized in that, in a solenoid valve manifold in which mutually connected manifold blocks having solenoid valves mounted on a valve attachment surface of an upper surface for switching passages of compressed fluid include a fluid passage section for feeding and discharging the compressed fluid to said solenoid valves through a common passage and an electric circuit section for supplying a driving electric power to said solenoid valves,said electric circuit section is constructed by electrically connecting, with a wiring on a printed wiring board, a multiple-pole male connector disposed on one connecting surface of a manifold block, a multiple-pole female connector disposed on the other connecting surface and joined to said male connector of an adjacent manifold block, and an electric power supplying connector disposed on the valve attachment surface of the upper surface and connected to an electric power receiving connector of the solenoid valves, andthe wiring on said printed wiring board is constructed in such a manner that terminals of the multiple-pole male connector that send driving signals to respective solenoid valves on the connected manifold blocks are connected to terminals of the female connector by shifting the driving signals thereof sequentially to terminals on the electric power supplying connector side, the terminal on the utmost end of the shifted side being connected to the electric power supplying connector, and has a common terminal disposed at the end of said electric power supplying connector side and interconnected between the male connector and the female connector.
