Overview
The Lumberg SB8/LED-3 is a miniature sensor distributor designed for compact industrial automation installations. This PICO (M8) format distribution box provides 8 ports with 3-pole connectors, offering one signal per port. Each port features integrated LED indicators for quick diagnostic feedback. The unit meets IP 67 and NEMA 6P ratings, making it suitable for washdown and harsh industrial environments.
Key Features
- 8-Port Configuration: Supports up to 8 simultaneous sensor connections
- PICO M8 Standard: Miniature A-coded M8 connectors for space-constrained installations
- 3-Pole Design: Provides signal and power connections with one I/O per port
- Integrated LED Indicators: Built-in diagnostics for PnP (push/pull) signal monitoring
- Harsh Environment Rating: IP 67 and NEMA 6P protection against dust, water, and industrial contamination
- Halogen-Free Cable: Includes Lumflex PUR material for improved flame resistance and environmental compliance
Technical Specifications
The Lumberg SB8/LED-3 integrates sensor distribution with built-in status monitoring. Key specifications include M8 3-pole A-coded connectors, 8-port architecture, and plastic/TPU construction with orange housing for visibility. Standard cable lengths are available in 5-meter and 10-meter configurations (SB8/LED-3/5M and SB8/LED-3/10M variants). The distributor features open control line interface design and is RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling sensor networks
- Factory automation and assembly line I/O distribution
