Why Choose the Pizzato BC 2Z8A3A1AL5 BC Series Passive Junction Box?
The Pizzato BC 2Z8A3A1AL5 is a BC series passive junction box designed to simplify decentralised wiring for multiple devices in industrial machine-safety and automation systems. It provides 8 female 8-pole M12 inputs in a compact technopolymer housing, enabling several field-mounted devices to be connected through a single organised distribution point.
Operating from a 24 V DC supply, the BC 2Z8A3A1AL5 combines its eight M12 connections with an axial multicore output cable. This particular version is supplied with a 5 m PVC cable comprising 2 × 0.75 mm² + 17 × 0.34 mm² conductors, providing additional installation reach between the junction box and the machine control system.
The compact 54 × 152 mm technopolymer housing makes the unit suitable for mounting close to field devices, helping reduce individual cable runs back to the control cabinet. As part of Pizzato's BC passive junction-box family, it provides a practical connectivity solution for machine builders seeking cleaner wiring, easier installation and more organised maintenance.

Reliable Decentralised Connectivity for Industrial Machinery
The Pizzato BC 2Z8A3A1AL5 allows multiple field-mounted devices to be brought together at one convenient connection point. Its eight M12 female ports help create an organised wiring architecture around machinery, reducing the need to route separate long cables from every device directly to the main control enclosure.
The integrated 5 m multicore PVC cable is particularly useful where the distribution point must be positioned some distance from the control cabinet. Combined with its compact technopolymer housing and 24 V DC architecture, the BC 2Z8A3A1AL5 provides machine builders with a practical passive distribution solution for safety and automation installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine-safety wiring systems.
- Decentralised connection of multiple field devices.
- Safety-switch and safety-sensor installations.
- Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
