AEM PDU-8 Eight-Channel Power Distribution Unit

The AEM EV PDU-8 is an affordable solution for controlling switched devices like cooling fans, headlights, brake lights, turn signals, windshield wipers, etc., on EV street-conversion and motorsports vehicles. Users can mount the individual PDUs closer to the subsystems they are controlling, simplifying wiring, reducing weight and increasing reliability.

The PUD-8 Eight Channel Power Distribution Unit receives its commands directly from a Vehicle Control Unit like the AEM EV VCU200, VCU300, or other VCUs with CAN transmission capability, eliminating the need to create complicated logic programming in the PDU. This makes them straightforward to configure, easy to troubleshoot and negates the need to have dedicated spares for motorsports electric vehicles, due to their ability to be used interchangeably.

The PDU-8 Eight Channel Power Distribution Unit features:

• Four 20A and four 10A high-side 12V outputs for activating/deactivating various switched devices
  Connect up to eight units for a total of 64 channels
• Smaller modules which allow for multiple units to be deployed nearer the systems they control, simplifying wiring and reducing weight
• CAN-commanded PDU, no logic programming required for PDU operation
• PDU ID is defined by wiring at the connector, allowing units to be fully interchangeable
• A small size and light weight
• Individual channel current draw and fault states are reported back to the VCU
• Fully-sealed, waterproof billet-aluminum enclosure

Note: The PDU-8 interfaces ONLY with the VCU200 and VCU300. It does not work with AEM Infinity or Series2 ICE management systems
