Compact splitter boxes
09 October 2013
ifm electronic has launched two new ranges of splitter boxes with M8 sockets, which are suitable for tight spaces.
All are solidly manufactured and potted with seals rated up to IP68 and mechanical protection to prevent over tightening. The splitters will operate between -25 and 80°C.
The EBC range includes four and eight-way connections for M8 (to EN61076) with either 3-pin or 4-pin configuration. Splitters have local LED indication; the user only has to specify the polarity of the input signals. A green LED confirms local power.
The EBC M8 splitters can be supplied with integral 5 or 10m multicore cable for connection back to the panel. Alternatively, the 4-way versions can be ordered with an M16 connector and plug-in home-run cables.
