JST SH-Style Cable for Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders, 6-Pin, Female-Female, 63cm

This 63 cm (25″) cable has six 28 AWG wires and 6-pin female JST SH-type connectors on both ends . These connectors work with the encoders on our Micro Metal Gearmotors and with our 6-pin JST SH-style connector breakout boards .

Note: We also have a version of this cable with the wires in a standard color order (e.g. with the black wire on pin 1) rather than color-coded specifically for Micro Metal Gearmotor encoders.


Description

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 twisted 28 AWG colour-coded wires that are terminated on both ends by female JST SH-type connectors.

Side-entry JST SH-style connector breakout board in a breadboard, female-female cable, and encoder with connector mounted on a Micro Metal Gearmotor.

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 Encoders

When used with our encoders, the wire colour scheme is as follows:

Cable colour Function
Red motor power M1 (“+” terminal)
Black motor power M2 (other terminal)
Blue encoder Vcc (2.7 V to 18 V)
Yellow encoder channel A output
White encoder channel B output
Green encoder GND

Micro Metal Gearmotor with 12 CPR encoder, side connector (cable not included).

Micro Metal Gearmotor with 12 CPR encoder, back connector (cable not included).

For more information on how to use the encoders, see the encoder product pages.
