To obtain a directional control valve superior in workability and
maintenanceability by mounting a pilot valve, a printed circuit board and
the like on a top surface of a main valve section efficiently so that
easy disassembly and assembly are achieved. A valve adapter is mounted on
a top surface of a housing of a main valve section with first screws,
pilot valves are mounted on the valve adapter with second screws, a
printed circuit board is disposed above the pilot valves, and is
electrically connected thereto, a protective cover for covering the valve
adapter, the pilot valves, and the printed circuit board is mounted
airtightly to the top surface of the housing with third screws, a pilot
supply flow channel is formed between the valve adapter and the housing,
and relay holes for bringing the pilot valves into communication with
pilot flow channel ports are provided on the valve adapter.
