Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated TMCM-1276-CABLE

Overview

TMCM-1276-CABLE from TRINAMIC Motion Control is a pre-assembled cable loom designed exclusively for the TMCM-1276 smart stepper motor driver module. It includes two discrete JST EH-series cable assemblies: a 4-pin motor connector (B4B-EH-A) and a 10-pin power/I/O/CAN connector (B10B-EH-A), both using 0.33 mm² (AWG 22) wire and compatible with the module's mechanical interface. This cable set enables rapid, reliable interconnection in lab automation, CNC, and robotics motion control systems.

For engineers reviewing the TMCM-1276-CABLE datasheet, TMCM-1276-CABLE pinout, TMCM-1276-CABLE application, or TMCM-1276-CABLE equivalent, this product delivers verified mechanical and electrical compatibility with the TMCM-1276 module - including precise pitch (2.5 mm), contact type (SEH-001T-P0.6), and mating housing (EHR-4/EHR-10) - eliminating custom wiring effort and reducing integration risk in decentralized stepper control deployments.

Technical Context

The TMCM-1276-CABLE is not an active electronic component but a purpose-built interconnect solution supporting the TMCM-1276's dual-connector architecture: one 4-pin JST EH series motor interface (pins A1/A2/B1/B2) and one 10-pin JST EH series power/I/O/CAN interface (including +24V, GND, CAN_H/CAN_L, +5V, HOME/REFL/REFR/ENN). Both cables use standardized AWG 22 conductors with 0.33 mm² cross-section and are terminated with factory-crimped SEH-001T-P0.6 contacts inside EHR-4 and EHR-10 housings.

This cable loom implements no signal conditioning, logic, or power conversion. Its design strictly follows TRINAMIC's mechanical interface specifications for the TMCM-1276 hardware version V1.10 - ensuring correct pin alignment, polarity preservation (e.g., CAN_H/CAN_L pairing), and mechanical retention without modification to the module's PCB footprint or mounting configuration.

FAQ

What is the TMCM-1276-CABLE and how does it relate to the TMCM-1276 module?

The TMCM-1276-CABLE is a factory-assembled cable loom specifically designed for the TMCM-1276 smart stepper motor driver module. It consists of two pre-terminated JST EH-series cables: a 4-pin motor cable (B4B-EH-A) and a 10-pin power/I/O/CAN cable (B10B-EH-A), both using AWG 22 wire and SEH-001T-P0.6 contacts. The TMCM-1276-CABLE ensures exact mechanical and electrical compatibility with the TMCM-1276 hardware version V1.10, enabling immediate connection without custom wiring or crimping.

Does the TMCM-1276-CABLE include any active electronics or signal conditioning?

No, the TMCM-1276-CABLE contains no active components, resistors, capacitors, or signal conditioning circuitry. It is a passive interconnect solution composed solely of insulated conductors, JST EH-series connectors, and molded housings. All functionality - including CAN communication, motor phase drive, and GPIO signaling - is handled entirely by the TMCM-1276 module itself; the TMCM-1276-CABLE serves only as a reliable, pre-validated physical link between the module and external power, motor, and control systems.

Which pins on the TMCM-1276 are supported by the 10-pin connector in the TMCM-1276-CABLE?

The 10-pin connector in the TMCM-1276-CABLE maps directly to the TMCM-1276's Power and I/O connector (JST B10B-EH-A), supporting all ten pins: Pin 1 (GND), Pin 2 (+24V), Pin 3 (CAN_H), Pin 4 (CAN_L), Pin 5 (GND), Pin 6 (+5V), Pin 7 (HOME/GPI0), Pin 8 (REFL/GPI1), Pin 9 (REFR/GPI2), and Pin 10 (ENN/ENABLE NOT). This ensures full access to power, differential CAN bus, regulated +5V output, and all four digital inputs required for referencing, encoder interfacing, and driver enable control.

Can the TMCM-1276-CABLE be used with other TRINAMIC modules besides the TMCM-1276?

No - the TMCM-1276-CABLE is mechanically and electrically specific to the TMCM-1276 module. Its connector types (B4B-EH-A and B10B-EH-A), pin assignments, wire gauge, and housing dimensions match only the TMCM-1276 hardware version V1.10. It is not compatible with other TRINAMIC modules such as the TMCM-1636, TMCM-6110, or TMCM-1260 due to differences in connector layout, pin count, pitch, or signal assignment. Using it with non-TMCM-1276 modules may result in misalignment, incorrect signal routing, or physical damage.

Is the TMCM-1276-CABLE RoHS compliant and what is its operating temperature range?

Yes, the TMCM-1276-CABLE complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, as confirmed by TRINAMIC's material declarations for the TMCM-1276 product family. Its operating temperature range matches that of the TMCM-1276 module: –30 °C to +50 °C, validated for use in industrial environments including lab automation, manufacturing cells, and factory automation systems where ambient conditions remain within these limits. The cable's PVC insulation and JST EH-series connectors are rated for continuous operation across this full range.
