Description
About the VW3M5B21R05
About the VW3M5B21R05
The Schneider Electric VW3M5B21R05 is a 5 m power cable in the Lexium 18 range, wiring a BCH18 servo motor into its drive with a 4 x 1.5 mm² conductor set terminated in a MIL1 connector. At 0.735 kg, its heavier-gauge conductors suit higher-current BCH18 motor frames than the 0.34 mm² version.
Selection Notes
VW3M5B21R05's 4 x 1.5 mm² conductors and MIL1 connector carry more current than the 0.34 mm² back-exit cable, so it fits the higher-power BCH18 motor variants in the same frame. Match the connector type to the drive-side receptacle before ordering, since MIL1 and PS0 terminations are not interchangeable.
