This product page focuses on the electrical accessory Pawbol Three-Socket Branch Connector D.3156, which is compared with other PAWBOL brand electrical products: the power clamp Pawbol E.4145 and the S-BOX series hermetic junction boxes (S-BOX 316H, S-BOX 416-P, S-BOX 416H, and S-BOX 816). All these products belong to the same category but serve completely different functions: power branching, conductor switching under load, or protecting connections from environmental hazards.
⚙️ The table below compares the technical specifications, construction types, installation features, and practical purposes of each item.
| Comparison parameter | Pawbol Three-Socket Branch Connector D.3156 | Pawbol E.4145 | PAWBOL S-BOX 316H | PAWBOL S-BOX 416-P | PAWBOL S-BOX 416H | PAWBOL S-BOX 816 | Practical significance |
|---|
| Product type | Electrical branch connector | Power clamp | Hermetic junction box | Hermetic junction box with transparent cover | High hermetic junction box | Hermetic junction box with knockouts | Each device serves a distinct purpose: splitting power, securely clamping conductors, or safely isolating wiring joints. |
| Intended use | Expanding a single power source into three connection points | Secure electrical connections for 2.5-35 mm² wires on a DIN rail | Protecting connections from dust and moisture in harsh environments | Protecting connections with visual inspection capabilities | Organizing secure connections inside a spacious enclosure | Organizing cable distribution using 18 entry knockouts | The choice depends on whether you need to split a power feed, join heavy conductors, or shield a wiring node. |
| Design features | Three available connection points | Supports up to 800V and 135A, aluminium and plastic build | IP56 protection rating, enclosure supplied without cable glands | IP56 rating, transparent lid for internal inspection | High enclosure profile with IP56 protection rating | 18 pre-marked knockouts for convenient cable entry | The design dictates installation conditions, ranging from simple indoor setups to weather-sealed outdoor wiring. |
◎ The table below evaluates how well the presented products fit various installation scenarios and professional needs.
| Use case | Recommended product | Why |
|---|
| Splitting a single power line into multiple devices | Pawbol Three-Socket Branch Connector D.3156 | Specifically designed to convert one power source into three independent connection outputs. |
| Industrial installation of high-gauge power conductors | Pawbol E.4145 | Engineered to handle high electrical loads (up to 135A) and mount onto a standard DIN rail. |
| Protecting outdoor or moisture-prone electrical connections | PAWBOL S-BOX 316H, S-BOX 416H, or S-BOX 816 | Enclosures featuring an IP56 protection rating effectively shield joints against dust and water jets. |
| Needing visual inspection of wires without opening the enclosure | PAWBOL S-BOX 416-P | Features a transparent cover for quick oversight of internal wiring connections. |
The electrical branch connector Pawbol Three-Socket Branch Connector D.3156 is built specifically for dividing power into multiple directions, whereas the alternative items are power clamps or hermetic mounting boxes meant for wire protection and commutation. Choose the D.3156 branch connector if you need to power multiple devices from a single source, and look to the S-BOX series alternatives or the E.4145 clamp if your primary requirement is safe commutation isolation or cable management in demanding environments.
