DB120805-1-03P, LANBAO, sensor distribution box M12, 8 ports 5pin, PVC 3m, PNP

DB120805-1-03P is a passive distribution box for 8 sensors with a five-pin M12 connector. The feed is a permanently attached PVC cable 3 m long runs to the control cabinet. It contains a PE conductor, supply wires and two signal wires for each port: yellow-green PE, brown (+), blue (−) and for each of the eight ports two separate signal wires for pin 4 and pin 2. The output is PNP with NO switching function. Each port has its own yellow LED, so sensor switching is visible directly on the machine.

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.
• Five pins per port. In addition to the supply and the switching output, you can also carry a second signal or shielding – for sensors with two outputs, analogue or diagnostics.
• 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 4 A per port, 10 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 PE, supply and two signal wires for each port. 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 M12 connector / 5 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.
