Crimp Terminals
YASKAWA recommends using CRIMPFOX 6 by Phoenix Contact or equivalent crimp terminals with the specifications
listed in Table 8.11 for wiring to ensure proper connections.
Note: Properly trim wire ends so loose wire ends do not extend from the crimp terminals.

Route the option wiring.
Depending on the drive model, some drives may require routing the wiring through the side of the front cover to
the outside. For drive models CIMR-A2A0004 through 2A0040 and 4A0002 through 4A0023, cut out the
perforated openings on the left side of the drive front cover as shown in
to damage wiring. 
Route the wiring inside the enclosure as shown in
2A0415 and 4A0031 through 4A1200 that do not require routing through the front cover.
Figure 8.12
A – Route wires through the openings
provided on the left side of the front
cover.
(CIMR-A2A0004 to2A0040, 4A0002
to 4A0023)
<1> The drive will not meet IP20/NEMA 1, UL Type 1 requirements if wiring is exposed outside the enclosure.
