Pin Configuration

  • Component Documentation: Pure Copper 1000mm Length Cable with Dupont Connector for NEMA17 Stepper Motor
  • Overview
  • The Pure Copper 1000mm Length Cable with Dupont Connector is a premium cable designed specifically for NEMA17 Stepper Motors. This cable features high-quality, 100% pure copper wires that ensure reliable and efficient signal transmission. The Dupont connector at the end of the cable provides a secure and convenient connection to the stepper motor.
  • Dupont Connector Pinout
  • The Dupont connector on the cable has a total of 4 pins, each with a specific function. Here's a breakdown of each pin:
  • Pin 1: VCC (Red Wire)
  • Function: Power supply (positive voltage)
  • Description: This pin provides the positive voltage supply to the stepper motor. Typically, it connects to the VCC pin on the motor driver or controller.
  • Pin 2: GND (Black Wire)
  • Function: Power supply (negative voltage/ground)
  • Description: This pin provides the negative voltage supply or ground connection to the stepper motor. Typically, it connects to the GND pin on the motor driver or controller.
  • Pin 3: DIR (Yellow Wire)
  • Function: Direction control
  • Description: This pin controls the direction of the stepper motor rotation. A high signal (logical 1) on this pin typically indicates clockwise rotation, while a low signal (logical 0) indicates counterclockwise rotation.
  • Pin 4: STEP (Green Wire)
  • Function: Step pulse input
  • Description: This pin receives the step pulse signals from the motor driver or controller. Each pulse on this pin advances the stepper motor by one step (typically 1.8 or 0.9 for NEMA17 motors).
  • Connection Structure
  • To connect the cable to a NEMA17 Stepper Motor, follow these steps:
  • 1. Identify the motor terminals: Locate the terminals on the NEMA17 Stepper Motor. They are usually labeled as A+, A-, B+, and B-.
  • 2. Connect VCC (Red Wire): Connect the red wire (Pin 1) to the A+ or B+ terminal on the motor. This provides the positive voltage supply to the motor.
  • 3. Connect GND (Black Wire): Connect the black wire (Pin 2) to the A- or B- terminal on the motor. This provides the negative voltage supply or ground connection to the motor.
  • 4. Connect DIR (Yellow Wire): Connect the yellow wire (Pin 3) to the DIR pin on the motor driver or controller. This controls the direction of the motor rotation.
  • 5. Connect STEP (Green Wire): Connect the green wire (Pin 4) to the STEP pin on the motor driver or controller. This receives the step pulse signals to advance the motor.
  • Important Notes
  • Ensure the correct polarity when connecting the VCC and GND wires to the motor terminals.
  • Verify the motor driver or controller documentation for specific connection requirements, as they may vary.
  • Use a suitable motor driver or controller that matches the specifications of your NEMA17 Stepper Motor.
  • By following these guidelines, you can correctly connect the Pure Copper 1000mm Length Cable with Dupont Connector to your NEMA17 Stepper Motor, ensuring reliable and efficient operation.
