Overview

This cable is designed to work with the encoders on our Micro Metal Gearmotors, which are also available separately with top-entry connector and with side-entry connector. It consists of six 28 AWG color-coded wires that are terminated on one end by a female JST SH-type connector.

The other ends of the wires are unterminated and can be cut to match the length of your application. You can use our male or female crimp pins and crimp connector housings to make a connector for the unterminated end of the cable that is compatible with standard solderless breadboards, perfboards, 0.1″ male headers, and 0.1″ female headers.

This cable also works with our JST SH-style connector breakout board (available in top-entry and side-entry versions):
