DB080403-2-05P, LANBAO, sensor distribution box M8, 4 ports 3pin, PUR 5m, PNP

DB080403-2-05P is a passive distribution box for 4 sensors with a three-pin M8 connector. The signals leave through a single PUR cable 5 m long; it contains 6 cores – brown (+), blue (−) and four signal wires – green for port 1, white for port 2, grey for port 3 and yellow for port 4. 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

• PUR jacket for moving installation. Withstands repeated bending in a drag chain, oil and coolant emulsion, and resists abrasion better than PVC.
• Cable 5 m is the most frequently requested length: it covers the usual distance from the machine to the control cabinet with a small margin.
• PNP version matches the European standard and common PLC input cards from Siemens, Schneider or ABB.
• Four ports in 90 mm of length. Fits even where there is no room for an eight-port box.
• 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 5 m PUR feed cable has 6 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 4 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 do I find out that a sensor is not switching?

By the yellow LED at the corresponding port. It lights up when the sensor is active, so you can find the fault directly on the machine without searching through the PLC inputs.

What is the operating temperature?

From −20 to +80 °C. The base is made of glass-filled polyamide PA66 the interior is potted with epoxy resin and the seal is an FKM O-ring.

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.
