Description
First Light Technology 0518 Door Actuator Panel Multi-Pin Circular Connectors
The First Light Technology 0518 is a door actuator connector panel and PCB assembly used in automated dome and shutter control systems. It serves as a central wiring junction between the actuator motors, sensors, and the main controller, consolidating multiple connection points into a single organized panel interface. The assembly consists of an aluminum front connector panel paired with a white metal enclosure housing a teal PCB with onboard LED status indicators.

Applications
First Light Technology produces automation and control systems for observatory domes, roll-off roofs, and related astronomical enclosures. The 0518 door actuator panel functions as the wiring interface hub in these systems, connecting individual motor-driven actuators — responsible for opening and closing dome shutters or access panels — to the central control electronics. Each labeled connector pair (J5-J1, J6-J2, etc.) typically routes signals and power to a specific actuator or sensor in the system. The onboard LED indicators provide at-a-glance status feedback on actuator or circuit states. This type of panel is used by observatories, planetariums, and research facilities running automated dome systems, as well as by system integrators and technicians servicing or rebuilding First Light Technology dome control installations.
This First Light Technology 0518 Door Actuator connector panel has been inspected and is in good used condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use and functional. The aluminum front connector panel shows typical light surface wear consistent with regular service use. The white rear enclosure and PCB assembly appear clean and intact with no visible damage to the connectors, board, or housing. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
