Description
About the VW3M5A21R05
About the VW3M5A21R05
The Schneider Electric VW3M5A21R05 is an unshielded 5 m power cable that wires a BCH16 servo motor to a Lexium 16D (LXM16D) servo drive, with 4 x 2.0 mm² conductors. It has a 4-pole MIL female connector on the motor side and flying-lead lugs on the drive side. Weighing 0.8 kg, it covers the 0.85-1.5 kW BCH16 motor frames in the Easy Lexium 16 range.
Selection Notes
The VW3M5A21R05 steps up to the 4-pole MIL connector and 2.0 mm² conductors used on the higher-power 100-130 mm frame BCH16 motors, versus the smaller TE connector on the VW3M5A11R05 for the 40-80 mm frames. It is the preassembled equivalent of the VW3M5A21 military connection kit.
