Effective immediately, 1FK7 Generation 1 motors will be equipped with the new SPEED-CONNECT connectors. (Both power and signal connectors without DRIVE-CLiQ). Up until now, this connector was only used for 1FT7 and 1FK7 Generation 2 motors.
The new connector is fully compatible with the previous cables with conventional screw locking system. SPEED-CONNECT cables can also be used in the future.
