cable connector. The mating cable connector is type ELVP05100.
Cable
The mating connector terminals will accept #16 to #28 AWG wire.
requirements
However, use #16 AWG or heavier for motor phase excitations.
For the motor cable, use cable with two twisted pairs twisted at
about 3 to 4 turns per inch (1 to 1.5 turns per centimeter) for the
motor phase excitations and a fifth wire for the case ground. As
an option, the cable may be shielded to reduce radiated noise. A
single shield can be used around both phase excitations and the
ground wire or each phase excitation (twisted pair) can be
individually shielded as in the Pacific Scientific cables. Connect
shields to pin 5 of the mating connector.
