ADP-BBOARD40 Unitronics IDC 40 Breakout Board + 1m cable
MPN: ADP-BBOARD40
Alt. SKU: ADPBBOARD40
Why Choose the Unitronics ADP-BBOARD40 IDC-40 Breakout Board?
The Unitronics ADP-BBOARD40 is a compact 40-pin IDC breakout board designed to simplify wiring between Unitronics PLC modules and field devices. It converts a 40-pin IDC ribbon connector into accessible terminal connections, making it easier to integrate PLC I/O signals into industrial control panels.
Supplied with an approximately 1 metre ribbon cable, the adapter allows engineers to connect PLC modules that use IDC connectors to standard control wiring without complex custom cabling. This improves panel organisation and reduces installation time when connecting sensors, relays, switches and other automation equipment.
The ADP-BBOARD40 is commonly used with Unitronics Vision, Samba and other PLC platforms where high-density I/O connectors require conversion to standard terminal wiring inside industrial control panels.
