DB120805-2-07N, LANBAO, sensor distribution box M12, 8 ports 5pin, PUR 7m, NPN

DB120805-2-07N is a sensor box with 8 five-pin M12 sockets, designed for mounting directly on the machine. The signals leave through a single PUR cable 7 m long; it contains PE, supply 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 has NPN 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 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.
• 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 7 m PUR feed cable has PE, supply and two signal wires for each port. 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 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

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.

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.

Can the feed cable be extended?

For variants with a fixed cable, the length is given by the type and extension requires a coupling in the control cabinet. It is therefore better to choose a longer variant.
