POINT
The IP rating indicated is the connector's protection against ingress of dust and
water when the connector is connected to a servo motor. If the IP rating of the
connector and servo motor vary, the overall IP rating depends on the lowest IP
rating of all components.
3.1 Selection of connectors
Use the connector configuration products given in the table as the connectors for connection with the servo
motor. Refer to section 3.2 to 3.4 for the compatible connector configuration products.
