It sounds like the OP wants to use the .316" connectors to push on existing lugs on the motor to reduce the number of steps and amount of labor in assembly.. -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense!

Actually, the application is such that polarity cannot always be strictly adhered to. Depending on servo drive, encoder and controller software setup, actual polarity may have to be reversed. Also, motor wires are already color coded so I'll use red connectors for both. Just wanted to confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that these connectors were color coded based on wire size which really sucks IMO. Being able to match wire and connector colors without having to jump through hoops or pay more would have been preferred. On Oct 1, 8:07 pm, Robert Baer <robertb...(a)localnet.com> wrote: >
