This 6-pin 63cm JST-SH cable is designed to work with Pololu encoders for micro metal gearmotors, which are available with top-entry connector and with side-entry connector. It consists of six twisted 28 AWG color-coded wires that are terminated on both ends by female JST SH-type connectors.

You can use the cable to connect an encoder to our JST SH-style connector breakout board (available in top-entry and side-entry versions), allowing you to easily access the motor and encoder pins on a standard solderless breadboard. Alternatively, using this cable with two connector breakout boards could serve as a removable general-purpose interconnect between different parts of a modular system.

Use with Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders

When used with our encoders, the wire color scheme is as follows:

Pin	Wire colour	Function
1	Green	Encoder GND
2	White	Encoder channel B output
3	Yellow	Encoder channel A output
4	Blue	Encoder Vcc (2.7 V to 18 V)
5	Black	Motor power M2 (other terminal)
6	Red	Motor power M1 (“+” terminal)
