DB080803-1-03P, LANBAO, sensor distribution box M8, 8 ports 3pin, PVC 3m, PNP

DB080803-1-03P combines the signals from 8 sensors with a three-pin M8 connector into one common line. The signals leave through a single PVC cable 3 m long; it contains 10 cores – brown (+), blue (−) and eight signal wires – green, white, grey, yellow, pink, red, violet and black. The output has PNP logic and NO switching function. Diagnostics are made easier by a yellow LED above each port.

When to choose this variant

• PVC jacket for static installation. The cheaper choice wherever the cable lies fixed in a duct and does not bend.
• Cable 3 m for a box placed close to the control cabinet – no excess that would have to be folded into the duct.
• PNP version matches the European standard and common PLC input cards from Siemens, Schneider or ABB.
• Eight M8 ports with a spacing of 14 mm. The highest connection density – for stations fitted with miniature photoelectric and inductive sensors.
• Degree of protection IP67. Potted interior, gold-plated contacts and an FKM O-ring – withstands dust, washdown and coolant emulsion. The condition is that every port is either occupied or closed with a cap.
• Current rating 2 A per port, 8 A in total. Enough even for fitting all ports with inductive sensors with higher consumption.

Technical specifications

Parameters according to the Lanbao manufacturer's catalogue (Industrial connection system). The material and length of the feed cable can be customised on request.

Feed cable wire assignment

The 3 m PVC feed cable has 10 cores. The colours correspond to the individual ports as follows:

In the PNP version, the LED is connected to supply minus. Port numbering corresponds to the print on the box cover.

What needs to be ordered additionally

The box is supplied without cables to the sensors. For full occupation, order 8 cables with M8 connector / 3 pins, male. To connect to the sockets of the distribution box, use the following Lanbao male cables and connectors:

The suffix -U denotes a PUR jacket, without it the cable is PVC; F is the straight and G the angled version. Close unused ports with a suitable cap to maintain the box's degree of protection.

Frequently asked questions

How is the box mounted?

With two through-holes in the base. You will find the spacing and diameter of the holes in the parameter table above; the dimension drawing can be downloaded as a PDF.

What is the degree of protection of this distribution box?

IP67. This means complete protection against dust and temporary immersion in water to a depth of one metre. This applies to the box with occupied or capped ports.

Can I connect PNP and NPN sensors to one box?

No. The box is made separately in PNP and NPN variants, and the logic must be the same for the sensors, the box and the PLC input card.
