Hi everybody,

I choose a siemens motor (Simogear Gearboxes FDAFS - Special Gear Motor) with encoder 1xP8012-10 output type HTL encoder, connection method 12-pin flange socket, 0° coding. But I have no information about the part number of the connector so that I could choose connector for encoder cable to mate with it.

Could anyone help me to find out what type of connector for encoder cable should I choose?

The motor is to rotate a mass (antenna system).

The encoder is connected to HTL card of frequency drive (terminal wiring type at the inverter) that control the motor

Please provide the MLFB number of drive & encoder terminal card details. 

Since you mentioned as at drive end, encoder will be connected to terminals, please find below here with the part numbers of pre-assembled cables in 3 different lengths.

Straight connector (This fits to flange socket of encoder) pre-assembled cable with end sleeves for 1XP8012 incremental HTL encoder.

1. 2 m length - Q69 - FDU70000004013446

2. 8 m length - Q70 - FDU70000004013447

3. 15 m length - Q71 - FDU70000004013448.

Depending upon requirement, you may select the required one.

Because of some constraints so I can't choose Siemen's inverter type, but the wiring type from the encoder to inverter is terminal block type so it doesn't need any connector to mate.

Between encoder and inverter there have some junction points so I just want to choose the connector for encoder cable (cable chosen separatedly) not the pre-cable type

You may select Lapp make EPIC 12 pole in line connectors (male-female set) for connections. Please visit this link for more information.

Part number of Siemens connector (straight connector) which connects to encoder flange is

Q62 - FDU:55190000565002

Thank you so much for your help.

I also found Cable connector - CA-12P1N1280DNS - 1619592 of Phoenix Contact but I'm not so sure that Phoenix type of SpeedCON is similar to central fastening type requirement I found on SIEMENS Mounting Instructions 1XP8012-1x HTL
