PDS8 and PDS8CB
Dual Input Power Distribution Modules
Description
Altronix PDS8 and PDS8CB dual input power distribution modules are designed to
steer the power from either two (2) low voltage AC or DC power sources. The two
Inputs can be either, both DC (e.g. 12VDC and 24VDC) or both AC (e.g. 16VAC and
24VAC). That power is distributed over a total of eight (8) fuse or PTC protected out-
puts. The spade connectors allow you to daisy chain multiple PDS8/PDS8CB modules.
This feature allows you to distribute the power over more outputs for larger systems.
Specifications
Input
Voltage Range
PDS8: 5VDC to 24VDC, up to 10A each or
16VAC to 28VAC, 60Hz, up to 10A each,
20A total input.
PDS8CB: 5VDC to 24VDC up to 10A each or
16VAC to 28VAC, 60Hz, up to 10A each,
16A total input.
Main Fuse Rating 10A.
Outputs
PDS8: Fuse protected outputs rated @ 3A per output,
non power-limited. Total output 20A max.
PDS8CB: PTC protected outputs rated @ 2A per output,
Class 2 power-limited. Total output 16A max.
Do not exceed the individual power supply ratings.
Any of the eight (8) fuse protected power outputs are selectable
to follow power Input 1 or Input 2.
Individual outputs may be set to OFF position for servicing.

PDS8 and PDS8CB
Dual Input Power Distribution Modules
PDS8K1 and PDS8CBK1
Altronix offers PDS8(CB) kits which include a dual output Power Distribution
Module and VR6 - Voltage Regulator, along with all necessary hardware.
Altronix VR6 & PDS8 easily snap together to provide 5VDC or 12VDC and 24VDC
simultaneously – individually selectable over each of the 8 outputs... all on one footprint!
- VR6 reduces the cost of adding another power supply.
- PDS8 is designed to piggyback onto the VR6 making an
instant plug-in connection via common standoffs.
- Stackable mounting configuration saves valuable enclosure space.
