JST SH-Style Cable for Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders, 6-Pin, Female-Female, 40cm

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 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 Encoders

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

Cable color	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.
