ECT Z Code Four Channel Jack to Four Plug Cable

The Premier Cable PCM-XY-0020 links a grouped ECT female interface with four separately positioned male connection ends. It addresses harness layouts where the main connection is handled as one unit, while the remote connections must be plugged in individually.

The four plug ends make this assembly a distinct choice for installations requiring male branch interfaces. Each branch serves its assigned circuit, allowing connection placement to follow the equipment arrangement.

Product Specifications

Grouped Mating And Separate Plug Connections

One Latch for the Grouped End

The main connector holds four female contact interfaces in a square arrangement beneath a shared top latch. Each two contact interface occupies its own projecting front section, while the rear body brings the four cable entries together. This structure establishes one grouped mating location at the equipment end, so access around the common housing and latch can be planned as a single installation requirement.

Four Plugs With Independent Mating Access

The remote ends use four individually housed ECT 818026772 plugs, each with a recessed metal interface and a visible pink component on top. Their separate bodies allow each plug to approach its mating position independently. Unlike a rigid four port block, the branch ends do not impose a fixed spacing between remote connections, leaving their placement to the approved harness route and equipment geometry.

Direct Cable Runs Without a Junction Body

Four individual cables leave the back of the main housing and continue directly to their respective plugs. No external junction body sits between the grouped connector and the branch ends. The harness therefore separates through cable routing rather than through an additional splitter enclosure, allowing installation planning to focus on cable support, branch separation and clearance at the five connector positions.

Applications & Customer Value

Connections to Distributed Jacks
Four male ends connect to separately located mating jacks, with each connector interface checked against the specified mating connector model.

Sequential Fixture Setup
Operators can connect the remote ends one at a time as fixture components are installed, while keeping a grouped connection at the main end.

Equipment Assembly Routing
Separate cable runs can follow different mounting positions within the equipment, without requiring an intermediate junction box along the route.

Branch Level Troubleshooting
An accessible remote plug can be disconnected for individual circuit checks, without unplugging the other remote ends during troubleshooting.

Product FAQ

Q1. Is this a four port network switch?

No. The supplied drawing defines a wired interconnect without switching electronics or network management functions.

Q2. When should male branch ends be selected instead of female ends?

Select the branch gender from the confirmed remote mating connector. Similar appearance or matching coding does not replace a mating part check.

Q3. Can it connect directly to a specific controller or development board?

That requires confirmation of the board connector model, mating geometry, contact assignment and electrical interface. No specific controller compatibility is established by the supplied drawing.

Q4. How should the required harness length be specified?

Use the drawing's L reference and provide the actual routing dimensions. Confirm whether the project requires equal or different branch lengths before releasing the production drawing.

Q5. What should be approved before an OEM production order?

Approve the connector list, dimensions, pin assignment, ground connections, branch identification and inspection criteria against the sample or released drawing.
