This is a basic bracket for a common pneumatic solenoid made by Festo that is used in FIRST Robotics builds and other machines. The bracket allows the solenoid to be easily and quickly removed for tweaking and maintenance without tools. The brackets also make great place holders during a build so the real solenoids don't get beat up while you are running lines and wires. It also makes it easier to share solenoids among several robots since they are pretty pricey.
Updated to V4: I reduced the size of the side tabs to clear another 1mm of space around the wire plugs so the release tab is easier to get to. I also increased the clearance in the wire guides so thicker wires can be stowed behind the towers. That is meant to eliminate strain from he plug itself in the event the wires are staged or otherwise pulled. If you run the wire through the guide before plugging in the connector it will all sure up nicely.
