Overmolded junction boxes are typically used where multiple M8 or M12 cable assemblies need to be spliced together. For example, if an application requires 18 connectors, a Y-block can help consolidate this assembly into six connections for a more efficient application. These overmolded junction boxes provide a higher level of ingress protection making them an ideal choice for harsh or rugged environments – all for a cost-effective solution.
Y-block assemblies from MJM Industries are customizable, offering multiple input and output configurations, with each cable having its own integrated strain relief. The junction box includes mounting holes and utilizes a proprietary overmolding process protecting the internal wire connections as well as providing ingress protection to IP67 and beyond. The internal wire connections can be mechanically spliced, soldered, or ultrasonically weld- ed, offering superior performance to conventional splicing methods.
