Apex 16/24 PDM Pre-wired harness

Our semi-terminated PDM harness is the ideal starting point for a clean, modern vehicle wiring setup. Fully colour-coded and wire-idented throughout, it covers core circuits such as lights, horn, fans and pumps, while leaving you the flexibility to add extra wires and finish the installation to suit your build.

6 Button CAN bus Keypad (1x6)

PKP-1600-SI is a compact keypad based on CAN protocol. It comes equipped with six keys with interchangeable 15 mm inserts. The keypad is water and dust resistant, and can be installed both inside and outside the cockpit. RGB led lights and the ease with which icons can be switched in and out make it possible for the user to customize each key in a wide range of variations.

Radlok Connector

Upgrade your Apex PDM with a Radlok connector for a reliable, robust quick-release connection.

The Apex 16 PDM is a compact, high-capability power distribution module designed for race, track and road vehicle applications where reliability, flexibility and ease of setup matter.

Built to simplify modern vehicle wiring, the Apex 16 replaces traditional fuses and relays with solid-state power control, while giving you far greater visibility and flexibility over how your electrical system works.

The unit features 16 outputs, made up of 4 x 7A outputs and 12 x 15A outputs, along with 16 configurable analogue or digital inputs with selectable pull-ups. Outputs can be combined for higher-current applications where required, making the system suitable for everything from lighting and pumps to more demanding vehicle functions.

The Apex 16 also includes onboard logging, dual CANbus, an always-alive mode for basic road vehicle functions, and a dedicated braked wiper output for more complete road-going installations. Main power connection is via M6 power stud or Radlok, and Ampseal connectors are used for easy depinning and serviceability.

Where Apex really stands apart is in the software. The system is built around an intuitive visual logic-based software builder, helping you configure circuits quickly and clearly without sacrificing advanced functionality. A built-in circuit builder and automatic pinout generation sheet make setup slicker, faster and easier to document.

Whether you are building a race car, track car, kit car or high-spec road car, the Apex 16 PDM offers a powerful and professional electrical control solution in a compact package.

  • 16 outputs
  • 4 x 7A outputs

What is a PDM?

Your ECU is smart. Your wiring should be too.
Apex PDM replaces traditional fuses and relays with electronically controlled power outputs. Instead of adding more relays, switches and fuse holders, you control your vehicle’s circuits through software.

The result is a cleaner, smarter and more reliable electrical system -
designed for race cars, kit cars, restomods, even off-roaders or boats!

Less wiring. More control.
Replace relay banks, fuse boxes and extra wiring complexity.

Faster fault-finding.
See circuit status and diagnose issues without stripping the car apart.

Built for modern electronics.
Control pumps, fans, lights, wipers, CAN devices and more.

Harness options available.
Start from scratch or simplify installation with harness options from Motorsport Electronics.
