Description
About the VW3M8B21
About the VW3M8B21
The Schneider Electric VW3M8B21 is a military-shell encoder connector kit for the Lexium 18 range, supplied as a connection-kit spare part compatible with BCH18 servo motors. It is packed 45 to a package 2 carton, carries a listed net weight of 35 g, and is used to field-terminate the motor's encoder connector on metal-shell installations.
Selection Notes
The VW3M8B21 uses a military-style metal connector shell, which suits installations needing a more shielded encoder connection than a plastic housing provides. Choose it over the plastic-shell connector kit in the same Lexium 18 accessory line when the application needs a metal-shell connection for tougher mechanical or EMC conditions.
