Modular Distribution Box with #JPT #connectors

Electrical distributor for JPT connectors, Tyco Junior Power Timer

Very often it is necessary to connect a group of #electrovalves and wires to a central cabinet.
These electrical #harnesses can be made with a plug-and-play solution, simple and heavy duty.
Small quantities or big series are not a problem. Outputs quantity and cable lengths are designed upon request.
Connectors can be EN 175301-803 (ex DIN 43650), Junior Power Timer (JPT), Superseal, Tyco, Deutsch (DT, DTP, DTM series: DT06, DTP06, DTM06, etc.), Hella or hybrid mixed combinations.
Distribution Box material is polyurethane. Standard cables are of PVC or PUR, but Silicon, FEP and other high performance materials are available upon request.
Most frequent applications are with ships, trucks, earth-moving machines, tree-cutting machines, cranes, lifting platforms, agricultural machinery, etc. and hydraulic power packs in general.

#Relays are no longer necessary

Do you have an on/off electrovalves application ?
Even if your #electrovalve supplies current over 0.5A,
relays or PLC power boards are no longer necessary.
This female socket connector contains a static relay and
is the right solution to drive high #current #solenoids.
(example: control of power electrovalves, mini-motors, contactors, etc.)
Allows to control power loads up to over 3A, with a small PLC signal.
The socket can connect the electrovalve to distribution box or directly to central cabinet.

Distribution box for #electrical #cabinet panel

It can be mounted on the front of an electrical panel or cabinet.

Distribox can have a rear cable or a simple rear terminal block.
In this way, the #distribution #box can be mounted on the front of an electrical panel or cabinet.
Available with M12, M8 connectors, female sockets or male plugs.

Cover for an #electronic #box

A Distribox with rear #connection can also become the #cover of a box for electronic circuits.
The number and the type of connectors can be changed according to the project needs.
In this way the customer can put inside his own circuit, even of big dimensions.
Here below the most common sizes are listed
(L x W x H mm):
120 x 80 x 55
120 x 80 x 85
160 x 80 x 55
160 x 80 x 85

Shield's cover with plug or socket connectors for electronic box.

Simple box for #electronic #circuits

This box can also be an enclosure for electronic printed circuit board.

Distribox can also become the container of electronic printed circuit board with #cable, or with #connector; polyurethane housing guarantees optimal water resistance.
Tooling modularity allows to eliminate all connectors from the box upper side, or to leave one or more connection males, with necessary poles quantity.

There are several advantages:

• wide range of dimensions, surface and thickness
• Led available
• minimum use of space
• low assemblage cost
• protection degree: IP67

Y Splitter, #M12-M12 #connector

Splitter useful to join on the same cable the signals coming from 2 different #sensors or to control 2 #electrovalves.
Solutions with direct cable instead of plug or socket connectors are available as well.
 

Splitter allows to use 1 single cable for 2 sensors or 2 valves.
Variants: each connector could be replaced by a cable,
moreover each connector could be male or female type.

Alternative #solutions to #Bus: special circuits

Solutions with #distribution #boxes without Bus in many cases may be more advantageous, for example when they have circuits with special connections or when they contain electronic circuits dedicated to specific applications.

Disadvantages of the distribution boxes with Bus:

• complex circuits which require qualified technicians
• higher price
• equipments for control tests are expensive
• generally slower reaction times
• devices like sensors or actuators have different versions for each bus standard on the market: selection and availability are more difficult
• one or more Bus systems can prevail in the future and others may become obsolete: the risk to invest in the choice of a Bus system increases 

Customized distribution box can be alternative or integrative to BUS applications.

Advantages of the distribution boxes with special circuits:

• Modular system: several boxes shapes already available
• It is possible to combine from 2 to 15 female sockets or male plugs on the same box
• It is possible to integrate any electronic circuit: series or parallel connections, AND / OR, special connections with or without components of any type
• If necessary you can also add DIP switches, buttons and electronic displays
• It is possible to include a Push-pull control connector guaranteed for 5000 connections cycles (ODU, LEMO, FISCHER), useful for applications on devices which need to be changed frequently.

Distribution #box with #M12 sockets and built-in male 7/8" (or M23) control connector

Classic distribution box family with 4, 6, 8 or 10 #socket #connectors. Sockets can be M8 or M12.
Caps for unused sockets are available.
Control male connector is 7/8" of 14 or 19 or 25 poles (M23 of 12 or 19 poles).
This solution allows to easily change the box without unwiring the whole system.
The picture shows type SK205PD.

The internal circuit can be customized according to customer's request, for instance:

• independent and separated outputs
• series outputs
• parallel outputs
• AND/OR logic wiring
• electronic logic upon request

Wiring box with M12 female connectors and 7/8″ male connector.

Distribution box with #input and #output connectors of various sizes

SK3FxPD is a distribution #box family with triple line of output #connectors. The output connectors in the same box may be of different sizes and poles quantity. The control connector is a 7/8" of 14 or 19 or 25 poles (M23 of 12 or 19 poles). Caps for dust protection are available.
Advantages:

• reduction of boxes quantity
• no more need of adaptors
• possibility to prevent connection mistake using different sizes and codings.

Shield distribution box can be an alternative or complementary BUS applications.
