Rail-approved valve connectors

With its valve connectors specifically developed for the railway market, ESCHA offers a compact, fully overmolded solution designed for maximum safety, durability, and compliance with standards. With full certification according to DIN EN 45545-2 (fire protection) and DIN EN 50155 (shock, vibration, and mechanical stress), users benefit from a product that not only meets technical requirements – but also significantly simplifies the entire approval process.

Fire protection included – no extra effort

ESCHA’s valve connectors are made from halogen-free materials with optimized flammability characteristics. They meet the most stringent requirements of DIN EN 45545-2, including Hazard Level categories HL1 to HL3. No need for manual calculation or verification of flammable mass – the product is pre-qualified for railway-specific fire safety requirements.

Certified for High Demands

The fully overmolded housing offers reliable protection against shock, vibration, and environmental influences. An integrated LED status indicator facilitates diagnostics and maintenance. Combined with railway-approved cables, the solution provides high abrasion resistance, flexibility, and resistance to weathering. These connectors are designed for long-lasting, low-maintenance use in demanding railway environments – such as pneumatic brake control circuits.

Approval-ready – no calculations required

Thanks to complete certification and project-ready documentation, there is no need for individual inspections or risk assessments – a clear advantage for both new builds and retrofit railway applications. Advantage: Predictable project timelines, reduced testing costs, and clearly verifiable compliance.

Flexible configuration – certified assurance

ESCHA offers its valve connectors in various lengths, designs (A, B, BI, C, and CI), and cable configurations. The product line is modular and adaptable to customer-specific requirements – without compromising certifications or requiring additional approvals. This gives users maximum flexibility combined with full railway compliance – directly available from standard production.

The ESCHA advantage

Unlike many standard industrial connectors that are merely mechanically robust, ESCHA provides a solution specifically designed and certified for railway use from the ground up. Users benefit from a genuine railway-ready solution – not a repurposed industrial connector.
