ZIPports Multi-port Interconnection Junction blocks; cuts down on errors in wiring.
Line of multi-port interconnection junction blocks offered in four, six and eight-port designs. Blocks are IP67 rated with all ports connected or covered with protective caps. These wire junction blocks are sometimes referred to as wiring connection blocks, panel junction blocks, or termination blocks. Saves time and reduces total cost.

Wire junction blocks are especially useful as sensor junction blocks to consolidate wiring from various types of sensors and provide a simple and effective way to organize machine wiring for various control systems such as machinery, packaging equipment and conveying systems. These types of control systems typically have many I/O points like sensors, solenoid-operated valves, consolidated in one location.

Features include:

  • A main homerun control cable is run back to the main control cabinet, so the cost associated with errors in wiring, rewiring, and I/O replacement is greatly reduced.
  • The designer can choose from a variety of circuit configurations in industry standard M12-style connection, in port configurations of 4-, 6- and 8-pole, with a choice of one I/O per port or two I/O per port.

Need sensors? We also offer a complete line of Inductive Proximity, Photoelectric, Fiber Optic, Capacitive Proximity and Ultrasonic sensors.
