Internal Product Review

The 108241-0085 is a Dynapar encoder cable configured with an MS female connector and flying leads. Single-ended output with an index channel makes signal interfacing clean and practical for encoder feedback applications. A -20 to +105 C temperature range is a strong advantage for dependable machine service.

Product Description:

The 108241-0085 cable is manufactured by Danaher and belongs to the Dynapar Encoder Cables series. Designed as a dedicated interface component, it connects rotary encoders to drives or controller input cards in automated machinery, transmitting position and speed feedback while maintaining signal integrity across moderate distances. Its shielding and conductor layout are matched to the electrical output style of Dynapar incremental encoders, allowing feedback lines to be routed without custom terminations or field-made splices.

One end of the assembly terminates in a female MS connector, a circular military-style plug that locks against a mating encoder receptacle to maintain continuity under vibration. The opposite end has flying leads, giving panel builders the flexibility to land individual conductors on terminal blocks or solder lugs. Internal contacts are arranged in a 6-pin pattern, providing separate paths for phased A and B signals, an index pulse, supply power, and a common return. Because the encoder output is single-ended, each signal channel uses one conductor referenced to the common return, simplifying connections while requiring careful shielding and routing near electrically noisy equipment. The cable uses 22 AWG and 24 AWG conductors, balancing flexibility with sufficient cross-sectional area for encoder signal and power circuits. This conductor arrangement supports the low-voltage connections commonly used with industrial incremental encoders.

An integrated index channel provides a single reference pulse during each encoder revolution, allowing the control system to establish a repeatable machine reference position. The assembly contains 6 leads that carry the available signal, supply, and return connections between the encoder and connected control equipment. The cable can operate at temperatures as low as -20 °C, supporting use in unconditioned industrial areas and near machinery exposed to cold surroundings. Its maximum operating temperature is +105 °C, allowing installation near motor housings and inside warm control enclosures when suitable routing and strain relief are provided.
