DB080803-1-07N, LANBAO, sensor distribution box M8, 8 ports 3pin, PVC 7m, NPN

DB080803-1-07N is a sensor box with 8 three-pin M8 sockets, designed for mounting directly on the machine. A single fixed PVC cable 7 m long runs to the control cabinet – brown (+), blue (−) and eight signal wires – green, white, grey, yellow, pink, red, violet and black. The box is in the NPN version with NO output. The yellow LED at each socket shows the channel status without you having to go to the PLC.

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 7 m reaches even the far end of a conveyor or line without having to insert a coupling into the route.
• NPN version for machines with negative logic – typically Asian production lines and retrofits of older equipment.
• 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 7 m PVC feed cable has 10 cores. The colours correspond to the individual ports as follows:

In the NPN version, the LED is connected to supply plus. 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

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 difference between the PVC and PUR variants?

PVC is cheaper and sufficient for a fixed route. PUR withstands repeated bending, oil and mechanical abrasion, so it belongs in drag chains and on moving machine parts.

Are the sensor cables included in the price?

No. The price covers the box with its feed cable only. Cables or connectors for the sensors are ordered separately, in a number corresponding to the number of ports.
