Introduction

40-pin connector modules are connected to sensors, pre-actuators, or terminals using a cable designed to enable trouble-free direct wire to wire transition of the module’s inputs/outputs.

The following diagram shows the connection of the cable to the module.

BMX FCW ••• Connection Cables

They are made up of:

  • at one end, a compound-filled 40-pin connector from which extend 1 or 2 cable sheaths, each containing 20 wires with a cross-sectional area of 0.34 mm2 (AWG 22)
  • at the other end, free wire ends color coded

The cables with 1 cable sheath containing 20 wires designed to connect the 40-pin connectors to the sensors or pre-actuators come in 3 different lengths:

  • 3 meters: BMX FCW 301

  • 5 meters: BMX FCW 501

  • 10 meters: BMX FCW 1001

The figure below shows the BMX FCW ••1 cables.

The cables with 2 cable sheaths containing 20 wires designed to connect the 40-pin connectors to the sensors or pre-actuators come in 3 different lengths:

  • 3 meters: BMX FCW 303

  • 5 meters: BMX FCW 503

  • 10 meters: BMX FCW 1003

The figure below shows the BMX FCW ••3 cables.

NOTE: A strand of nylon incorporated in the cable allows the cable sheath to be stripped with ease.
NOTE: The maximum torque for tightening BMX FCW ••• cable connection screws is 0.8 N•m (0.59 lb-ft).
