The IFM EBC038 is an 8-port splitter box designed for reliable sensor and actuator connectivity in industrial automation systems. It features eight M12 ports with a compact 0.5 m PUR cable for short-distance machine connections. The robust PA housing provides IP67 and IP68 protection for demanding industrial environments. Gold-plated contacts and clearly visible LEDs support reliable operation and convenient maintenance.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EBC038 provides eight M12 connection ports for connecting multiple sensors and actuators through one centralized unit. This allows several field devices to be organized around a single connection point. The eight-port configuration is suitable for automation systems requiring multiple sensor connections. It also simplifies access during installation and maintenance.
The integrated 0.5 m PUR cable is suitable for compact machine layouts where a short connection is preferred. It helps minimize excess cable and can support cleaner wiring around field devices. The cable is halogen-free and designed for industrial applications. Its dynamic characteristics make it suitable for specified moving installations.
The EBC038 uses a durable PA housing designed for harsh industrial environments. IP67 and IP68 protection helps protect the splitter box from dust and water exposure. The unit is suitable for factory automation, machine tools and applications involving oils and coolants. Its robust design supports dependable operation under mechanical stress.
Eight yellow LEDs provide switching-status indication and one green LED indicates operation. This gives maintenance personnel a quick visual reference for the connected circuits. LED status monitoring can simplify commissioning and troubleshooting activities. The gold-plated M12 contacts further support reliable electrical connectivity.
