The Murrelektronik MVP12 8×M12 5-pole Basic Housing is a passive field distribution module that provides eight M12 connection points for sensors and actuators using a 5-pole A-coded interface in industrial automation systems. It comes without connection caps and without homerun cables and offers option for potential separation, so power and signals can be separated for improved safety and wiring flexibility. The housing is made of a durable flame-retardant plastic with resistance against oils and many industrial chemicals. The module is designed for direct installation in machine or field environments where multiple M12 devices must be routed from a central point.
This basic housing supports 24 V DC operation and is suitable for applications such as sensor/actuator distribution or field I/O extension. It meets IP67 protection when properly inserted and tightened, giving reliable moisture and dust protection for outdoor and factory use. The device has LED indication for power and signal status and uses M12 screw-thread locking for secure connections.
