Junction blocks provide a simple, effective way through consolidating connections from various types of control systems and sensors that have many I/O points.

Junction blocks, often referred as terminal blocks and distribution blocks, provide a simple and effective way through consolidating connections from various types of control systems and sensors that have many I/O points.

 

They feature a homerun connector (cable, cable with connector, receptacle, or field wireable), which easily routes signals from multiple inputs back to the main control system.  This significantly reduces potential errors associated with wiring, rewiring, and I/O replacement.  Furthermore, both cost and downtime are also minimized.

Wide range of circuit configurations:

  • 7/8-16 MINI series
  • M12 & 1/2-20 Micro series
  • M8 Nano series
  • DeviceNet series
