When working with tight space constraints, finding compact automation components that meet dimensional and performance requirements can be a challenge. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the PA-CB2 control box for micro actuators, specifically designed to pair seamlessly with our ultra-compact PA-MC1 micro linear actuator! Together, they create a powerful, compact automation solution ideal for DIY projects, home automation systems, and compact industrial applications. In this article, we will cover the crucial details of our PA-CB2 low current control box, such as its compatibility, benefits, features, and specifications.
Why PA-CB2 Is the Perfect Match for Micro Actuators Specifications
The PA-CB2 is our most compact control box yet, offering reliable low-current (up to 3.5A) 12V actuator control in a small footprint. Designed with versatility and ease of use in mind, it supports a wide range of features:
- Automatic Power Saving Mode – Draws only 2.5mA at 12VDC when idle, with instant wake-up for efficiency.
- Wireless Remote Control – Operate an actuator with the included RF remote from up to 60 ft (18 m) in open air to access functions such as up, down, programming modes, and stop.
- Wireless Mode Selections – Wirelessly switch between control types based on your application’s needs to smooth motion mode, momentary, and non-momentary control.
- Multi-Remote Pairing – Pair up to 4 remotes for added control flexibility.
- LED Indicator – Offers clear system feedback and status visibility.
Safety features are built in, including overload protection, short-circuit protection, and reverse input voltage protection, giving you peace of mind during setup and operation.
Simple Plug-and-Play Integration
The included wire harness with molex connectors makes connecting your PA-MC1 micro linear actuator and power source to our PA-CB2 plug and play control box fast and easy. Apply 10 to 14.5 VDC across the two input power wires, and the system is now ready to use with our PA-MC1 actuator connected to the two output wires. Please see the PA-CB2 Data Sheet for information about controls, wiring, and troubleshooting.
Using PA-CB2 in DIY and Home Automation Projects
Compact, efficient, and full of versatile features, the PA-CB2 compact actuator controller helps open the opportunities for PA-MC1 micro actuator use in more applications than ever before. Whether you're integrating a micro actuator for smart projects, creating a hidden storage solution, or adding movement to a home automation setup, this control box delivers both power and precision in a space-conscious design.
IN SUMMARY
The combination of having versatile capabilities, safety features, and a plug and play control box design makes the PA-CB2 the perfect user-friendly actuator solution for our PA-MC1 micro actuators.
