An electromagnetically actuatable pneumatic directional control valve having a compressed air network connection, a vent and at least one working connection for a compressed air consuming unit. In order to achieve a modular building-block system with a simpler, more efficient assembly and combination of a number of valves into an integral valve block, a working conduit that leads to the working connection, ventilation conduits and a supply conduit that leads to the vent and the compressed air network connection, the vent, and a valve member that has an actuation magnet and controls the conduits are combined in a valve housing. The connections for the compressed air network and the compressed air consuming unit are disposed in a connecting plate that can be separated from the valve housing. The compressed air network connection is comprised of a connection fitting on the one plate side and a connecting bore connected to it on the remote plate side of the connecting plate so that the connecting fitting and connecting bore of connecting plates of two directional control valves disposed next to each other can be plugged into each other and can be connected to each other via connecting means disposed on these plate sides.
