A 300mm (12″) cable with a female JST SH-style connector on one end and six unterminated colour-coded 28 AWG wires on the other. Designed for use with Pololu Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders (both top-entry and side-entry connector versions).
The unterminated ends can be cut to length and fitted with crimp pins and housings for breadboard, perfboard, or 0.1″ header connections.
Key Features
- JST SH-Style Connector – Mates directly with Pololu micro metal gearmotor encoders
- 6 Colour-Coded Wires – Easy identification for motor and encoder connections
- 28 AWG – Flexible fine-gauge wire for compact wiring
- Unterminated End – Cut to length and add your own connectors

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- AWG
- American Wire Gauge is a numbering system for wire thickness, where a lower number means a thicker wire. The AWG rating matters because thicker wire can usually carry more current with less voltage drop and heating.
- encoder
- An encoder is a sensor that converts the rotation or position of a shaft, knob or dial into electrical signals, reporting movement as incremental steps and direction, or as an absolute position. It is used to track how far something has turned, which matters for precise positioning, speed control, repeatable movement, or using a rotary knob as an input.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- VCC
- VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
