The IFM EBC124 is an 8-port M12 sensor splitter box designed for industrial automation and machine-tool applications. It provides eight A-coded M12 ports with gold-plated contacts for reliable sensor connectivity. The robust PA housing supports harsh industrial environments and offers IP67/IP68 protection. Its 2.4 m halogen-free PUR cable and drag-chain suitability provide flexible installation options.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The EBC124 provides eight M12 connection ports for centralized sensor distribution in industrial automation systems. Its multi-port configuration helps simplify wiring between multiple field sensors and control equipment. A-coded M12 connectors provide standardized industrial connectivity. Gold-plated contacts support reliable electrical performance during continuous operation.
The splitter box features a rectangular PA housing designed for demanding industrial applications. Its robust construction provides resistance to oils and coolants commonly found in machine-tool environments. The product uses nickel-plated brass locking components for secure M12 connections. Mechanical end-stop protection helps prevent O-ring damage during installation.
The EBC124 includes a 2.4 m black PUR halogen-free cable for connection to the control system. It provides IP67 and IP68 protection, while the spring terminal area has IP20 protection. The splitter box is suitable for drag-chain applications with a minimum bending radius of 10 times cable diameter. More than 2 million bending cycles are specified for drag-chain suitability.
