The IFM EBC074 is an eight-port PNP splitter box designed for centralized sensor and actuator connectivity in industrial automation systems. It provides eight M8 ports and a 20 m PUR cable for extended installations. The robust PBT-GF20 housing offers IP65, IP67 and IP68 protection. Gold-plated contacts, LED status indication and drag-chain suitability provide reliable performance for demanding industrial applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EBC074 provides eight M8 connection ports for connecting multiple sensors and actuators through a centralized wiring block. This helps simplify complex machine wiring and provides better cable organization. The eight-port arrangement is suitable for automation systems with multiple field devices. Its compact housing allows convenient integration into industrial machinery.
The EBC074 uses PNP electrical technology and operates from a 10...30 V DC supply. Each connection can support up to 2 A with a maximum total current of 6 A. This makes the splitter box suitable for compatible industrial sensor and actuator systems. Gold-plated contacts support dependable electrical signal transmission.
The 20 m PUR cable provides extended connection distance for large machines and distributed automation installations. Its industrial cable construction is suitable for demanding environments. The cable is designed for drag-chain applications under specified operating conditions. Correct bending radius and installation practices help maintain long-term cable performance.
The EBC074 features a PBT-GF20 housing and nickel-plated brass components for durable industrial use. IP65, IP67 and IP68 protection helps protect the wiring system against dust and moisture. Sixteen yellow LEDs indicate switching status while a green LED indicates operation. This makes system checking and troubleshooting more convenient.
