MPN: EL9183-0000
The Beckhoff EL9183 is an EL EtherCAT Terminal that features 16 terminal points internally connected and a nominal voltage up to 60 VDC. This terminal is 12 mm wide, supports a maximum current load of 10 Amps, and is rated IP20 for protection. It allows power contact pass-through with two power contacts and is designed for a 35 mm mounting rail.
Internal Product Review
The EL9183 is a Beckhoff EtherCAT terminal intended for clean power distribution in modular control systems. A 10 A max current load with nominal voltage up to 60 VDC gives this terminal strong utility in low-voltage cabinet layouts. E-bus pass-through and power contact pass-through streamline terminal integration, making the EL9183 an efficient and dependable addition to EtherCAT assemblies.

Product Description:
The EL9183 is a power supply and coupling module manufactured by Beckhoff for the EL EtherCAT Terminals series. Within an automation rack, it serves as a compact feed point that injects auxiliary DC voltage onto the power contacts while allowing the EtherCAT communication lines to proceed unchanged. By combining electrical distribution and bus continuity in one 12 mm-wide housing, the terminal simplifies cabinet wiring and maintains the deterministic timing required for distributed I/O stations.
The terminal supports E-bus pass-through, meaning the EtherCAT clock and process data are forwarded internally without additional connectors. A housing width of 12 mm conserves rail space so multiple voltage segments can be installed side by side. The internal copper conductors support a maximum load of 10 A, enabling the module to feed sizable groups of field devices. Upstream supplies of up to 60 VDC can be connected, which matches the safety extra-low-voltage range commonly used in machine controls. The IP20 protection rating limits use to clean control enclosures, while the push-in terminals allow tool-free wiring. The design omits a protective earth contact and maintains one separate potential group. Enhanced load capacity and power-contact pass-through allow downstream terminals to receive the same voltage without additional jumpers.
The module supports a standard 35 mm DIN rail, allowing it to lock directly onto TS35 mounting channels already present in most panels. Two integrated power tracks provide two power contacts, and both are routed through the terminal so subsequent modules inherit the feed. Field wiring connects through spring cages arranged in a block of 16 terminal points. These points are hardwired together, with terminals 1 through 16 internally linked to distribute the incoming potential uniformly. Because the unit functions solely as a power coupler, it requires 0 bits in the controller’s process image. This arrangement avoids unnecessary bus overhead while preserving EtherCAT communication through the terminal. The compact housing also permits the feed module to sit alongside signal terminals without requiring a separate distribution block.
