Miniature sensor distributor, 8 ports, LED

The Miniature sensor distributor, 8 ports, LED, is a highly reliable and versatile component ideal for industrial automation applications. Manufactured by Belden under the Classic series, this distributor provides 8 individual I/O connections with an M8, 3-poles, A-coded interface. Its housing is made from robust plastic material (TPU) and is finished in a high-visibility orange color. The unit is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, with an IP67 protection rating ensuring it is completely dust-tight and protected against water immersion up to one meter depth. The IP67 rating is maintained only when the unit is mounted and locked in combination with Hirschmann or Lumberg Automation connectors.

One of the standout benefits of this sensor distributor is its enhanced durability and functionality in extreme conditions. It operates reliably within a wide ambient temperature range from -15 °C to 80 °C, ensuring long-lasting performance in varied industrial settings. The unit features a potted construction, providing additional protection and durability. Additionally, it is equipped with LED indicators for easy monitoring and troubleshooting of each port.

The Miniature sensor distributor can be broadly applied across various industrial automation systems, facilitating effective and organized sensor interfacing. It is especially useful in complex machinery setups where multiple sensor inputs need to be consolidated. Its flexible design, coupled with a pollution degree of 3 according to EN 60664-1, VDE 0110-1, makes it suitable for use in demanding environments. The open-ended control cable interface allows for customizable connections, and its RoHS compliance underscores its adherence to industry standards for environmental safety.
