New encoders with connectors for 20D mm metal gearmotors
We are excited to introduce encoders with JST PH-type connectors for our 20D mm metal gearmotors, available in two versions to better satisfy different application constraints:
- Magnetic Encoder Pair Kit with Top-Entry Connector for 20D mm Metal Gearmotors, 12 CPR, 2.7-18V
- Magnetic Encoder Pair Kit with Side-Entry Connector for 20D mm Metal Gearmotors, 12 CPR, 2.7-18V
The top-entry connector allows the cable to come straight out the back, keeping things compactly in-line with the motor, while the side-entry connector is good for applications where there isn’t much space past the rear of the motor. We are also continuing to offer our original encoder board with through-holes, which allows wires to be soldered to the board for especially compact installations.
With these new encoders, you just have to solder the board to the two motor tabs, put the magnetic disc on the backshaft, and plug in your cable! And our just-released JST PH cables give you plenty of options to choose from:
