Re: Connecting Solenoid to CRIO

On the SMC solenoids (which is what we are using) the same 2 pocket PWM connector that you connect to the solenoid breakout can be inserted into the solenoid itself and hot glued into place.

If you do not have a 2 pocket pwm style connector, you can easily cut a 3 pocket one down with sidecutters, dremel, or a bench grinder.
