Why Choose the Pizzato BC 2Z8A3A1AL2 BC Series Passive Junction Box?
The Pizzato BC 2Z8A3A1AL2 is a BC series passive junction box designed to simplify the connection of multiple machine-safety devices in industrial automation systems. It provides 8 female 8-pole M12 inputs within a compact technopolymer housing, enabling decentralised field connections while reducing the amount of individual cabling required back to the control cabinet.
This configuration is designed for eight connected devices and provides independently connected I3/IE1 inputs for six devices together with one common I3/IE1 input for two additional devices. Integrated signalling LEDs provide useful local status indication, helping technicians identify operating conditions during installation, commissioning and maintenance.
The BC 2Z8A3A1AL2 operates from 24 V DC and uses an axial 2 m PVC multicore cable for the main connection. Its compact 54 × 152 mm technopolymer housing and protection of up to IP67 make the BC series particularly suitable for decentralised machine wiring in demanding industrial environments.
Key Advantages
- Connects up to 8 field devices through one passive distribution point.
- 8 female 8-pole M12 inputs simplify installation of compatible safety devices.

Reliable Decentralised Wiring for Machine Safety Systems
The Pizzato BC 2Z8A3A1AL2 provides a practical way to consolidate connections from multiple field-mounted devices into a single passive distribution point. Eight M12 connections allow compatible devices around a machine or guarded production area to be wired locally, while the multicore output cable carries the required connections onwards to the control system.
The specialised I3/IE1 arrangement provides independent connections for six devices and a common input for two additional devices, making this version suitable for specific multi-device safety architectures. Combined with integrated LED indication, robust technopolymer construction and protection up to IP67, the BC series helps create organised and serviceable machine wiring in industrial environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine-safety wiring.
- Decentralised connection of multiple safety devices.
- Guard-switch and safety-sensor installations.
- Automated manufacturing and assembly machinery.
- Robotic cells and guarded automation systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material-handling systems.
- OEM machine building and control-panel installations.
