This 10 cm (4″) cable has six 28 AWG wires and 6-pin female JST SH-type connectors on both ends. These connectors work with our Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders with top-entry connectors and with side-entry connectors as well as our connector breakout boards with top-entry and side-entry connectors.
OverviewThis cable is designed to work with our Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders
with top-entry connector and
with side-entry connector. It consists of six twisted 28 AWG color-coded wires that are terminated on both ends by female JST SH-type connectors.
You can use the cable to connect an encoder to our JST SH-style connector breakout board (available in
top-entry and
side-entry versions), allowing you to easily access the motor and encoder pins on a standard
solderless breadboard. Alternatively, a cable with two connector breakout boards could serve as a removable general-purpose interconnect between different parts of a modular system.
Use with Micro Metal Gearmotor EncodersWhen used with our encoders, the wire color scheme is as follows:
Color | Function |
---|
Red | motor power (connects to one motor terminal) |
Black | motor power (connects to the other motor terminal) |
Blue | encoder Vcc |
Yellow | encoder A output |
White | encoder B output |
Green | encoder GND |
For more information on how to use the encoders, see the encoder product pages.
Available optionsOur female-female cables are available in five lengths:
We also have single-ended cables, with a female JST SH-style connector on one end and unterminated wires on the other end, available in three cable lengths:
