4-pin picofast junction box

October 2005 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

Turck is offering a new 4-pin picofast junction box to its multibox junction box product line. These boxes are the first to offer dual I/O per port with the space saving picofast footprint. Now users can consolidate wiring when using 4-pin sensors, such as photoelectric sensors, or connect up to 16, 3-pin sensors, such as Turck's picoprox line. The new 4 and 8-port fully encapsulated junction boxes are available with a snap lock or M8 threaded connection. The top mount home run connector or side exit integral cable provides easy access in small areas.

The picofast connectors are oriented to allow right angle corsets to mate and provide a low profile for efficient wire consolidation of sensors and other devices. Picofast junction boxes provide a convenient way to maintain, identify, and consolidate machine or panel wiring from multiple I/O points. An available splitter allows for two 3-pin devices to be connected to each port.

The top mount junction box, offered in 4 or 8 ports, is available with a quick disconnect M16 homerun connector or a side exit integral cable. Homerun connector options include 14-pin M16 cordsets in straight or right angle configuration. The 4-pin dual output per port offers an operating current of 3 A/port and 4 A/total. Operating voltage is 10 to 48 V d.c. and the industrial nylon; fully encapsulated housings offer an IP67 protection rating.
