ZIPport Multi-port Interconnection Junction Blocks

A simple and effective way to organize machine wiring for a variety of control system applications!

Cuts Down on Errors in Wiring

Variety of Circuit Configurations

Saves Time and Reduces Total Cost

These wire junction blocks are also sometimes referred to as: wiring connection blocks, panel junction blocks, junction wiring blocks or termination blocks. They are especially useful as sensor junction blocks to consolidate wiring from various types of sensors.

ZIPport™ multi-port interconnection junction blocks provide a simple and effective way to organize machine wiring for a variety of control systems, such as machinery, packaging equipment and conveying systems.

These types of control systems typically have many I/O points, like sensors or solenoid-operated valves, consolidated in one location.
Many times these devices are hard wired to an electrical junction box or separately wired back to the main control cabinet.

ZIPport multi-port junction blocks provide a more efficient and cost-effective wiring solution:

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.
