What application gets the best advantage with #electrical distribution #box or #spider #harnesses?

Splitter connectors

Spider boxes can be made with many different sizes and shapes, thanks to tools flexibility. In most cases
the limit is only the imagination of the equipment designer.
Even small production lots usually are not a problem.
Clients can order customized spider distribution box thanks to a special modular production technique.
Distribution box is totally overmoulded with thermoplastic polyurethane.
These harnesses are often used in the following fields:
industrial automation, lamps for industrial vehicles, lamps for architectural applications, measurement devices and instruments, heating and air conditioning systems, hydraulic, pneumatic and electrical automation, industrial and public transport vehicles, bus,

Hybrid distribution box

railways, ships and airplanes, warehouse and moving goods plants, earth moving machines, conveyor belts, packaging, bottling, glass, plastic, metal, textile, paper and wood working machines, assembly machines, robot, industrial washing and drying machines, wind mills, cranes and air platforms, construction equipment, food industry machinery, agricultural machinery.

Suitable also for heavy-duty applications and IP67 or higher protection degree.

What is the main advantage for a machine manufacturer ?

• For applications or Countries with low-cost labour: reduced possibility of human error.
• For applications or Countries with high cost labour: reduced total cost (labour + material).

Spiders with JPT plugs

Other advantages

• reduction in time wiring electrical assembly
• machine maintenance easier and faster
• reduction in number of machinery spare parts
• stock codes reduction
• Bill Of Materials (BOM) easier for machinery builders
• cabling simplified
• possibility to include electronic circuits in boxes and/or connectors, in order to get peripheral controllers
• possibility of installation even by unskilled workers
• machinery aesthetically better

  

  Spider with electrovalve DIN 43650 connectors
• overall dimensions significantly reduced
• total weight significantly reduced

AND-logic circuit with #amplifier

Distribution #box with 4 or 8 sockets;
with built-in signal amplifier,
to connect PNP #sensors in series
and recover any voltage drop.

AND-logic circuit with amplifier - Shield's M8 distributor.

Advantages:

• Led near each M8 socket shows on-off signal status.
• It is possible to put sensors in series with high voltage drop as well.
• Connection of many sensors to the cabinet by a simple 3-pole M12 #connector.
• Single PLC input can get signal from many sensors.

Accessories: special male M8 connector for input exclusion.

Triple exit #connector

Multiple exit cable connector,
to connect up to 3 #sensor switches each socket,
when used with an appropriate
distribution #box.
Application example: sensors connection.

Distribution Box with triple signal M12 connector.

#EN175301-803 connectors

These connectors are also called as #DIN 43650, #ISO 4400, ISO 6952, ISO 15217 electrovalve connectors. They can be made with shielded or unshielded cables, halogen free polyurethane cables, PVC or silicone cables with dynamic or static application. Ratings up to 10A, 250V. Electronics: custom electronic circuit design available. This connector style is also available as field attachable version, with screw terminals or crimp contacts.
