Feedback and Control Cable Assemblies
The Auxiliary Power Cable (J4), the Feedback cables (J2 and J3) and the I/O cables (J5, J6 and J7)
all use 2 mm pitch Molex “Sherlock” connectors. These connectors snap together quite easily,
but require a small standard screwdriver for disassembly. To disassemble the Molex connector
simply (1) slip the screwdriver into the lock (this will cause the lock to disengage) and (2) twist
the screwdriver downward with light pressure on the handle (see the figure below).

Notes for assembling Feedback and Control cable assemblies:
•
Use 24 or 26 AWG twisted-pair shielded cables.
•
On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
•
On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s recommendations
concerning shield and/or drain wire connections.
