Why Choose the Pizzato BC 1Z4A2A1AF2 Passive Junction Box?
The Pizzato BC 1Z4A2A1AF2 is a compact BC series passive distribution and junction box designed to simplify the connection of safety devices in industrial automation systems. It provides four 8-pole M12 female device connections, allowing compatible safety devices equipped with M12 male connectors to be grouped through a single central distribution point.
This configuration uses independently connected I3/IE1 inputs for the four device connections, providing individual management of these input signals. The BC series also connects the OSSD safety outputs of compatible devices in series for onward connection to a suitable safety control module, while individual signalling outputs can provide information from each connected device.
The BC 1Z4A2A1AF2 operates from 24 V DC and features an axial 12-core PVC output cable measuring 2 m in length. Its compact 54 × 115 mm technopolymer housing, integrated diagnostic LEDs and IP65/IP67 protection make it well suited to machine safety installations where reliable distribution, tidy wiring and straightforward maintenance are priorities.

Efficient Safety Device Distribution for Industrial Machinery
Passive distribution boxes simplify machine safety wiring by bringing several safety-device connections together at a central point. This reduces individual cable runs, helps create tidier machine installations and makes connected devices easier to replace during commissioning or maintenance.
The Pizzato BC series is specifically designed for safety devices using 8-pole M12 connections. In addition to distributing power and safety signals, the BC 1Z4A2A1AF2 provides independent I3/IE1 connections and individual signalling outputs for its four device channels, making it a practical solution for sophisticated machine guarding systems using compatible Pizzato safety devices.
Typical Applications
- Machine safety interlock distribution systems.
- Pizzato safety switch and sensor installations.
- Automated production and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and perimeter guarding systems.
- Packaging and processing equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling machinery.
- Modular machinery requiring centralised safety-device wiring.
- OEM machine building and industrial automation systems.
