CAUTION
Do not connect or disconnect motor during operation!
Motor cable and motor inductivity might lead to voltage spikes when the motor is disconnected / connected
while energized. These voltage spikes might exceed voltage limits of the driver MOSFETs and might
permanently damage them. Therefore, always switch off and / or disconnect power supply before connecting
/ disconnecting the motor.
5.3.2 REF / HOME connector
There is one REF / HOME connector per driver brick – one for each motor axis. HOME, REFL and / or REFR switches
may be connected via one 6 pin Molex MicroFit™ connector (Molex part no. 43045-0612). Mating connector housing
e.g. Molex 43025-0600, contacts Molex 43030-0007. Please note that there are alternative options available from
Molex for both, mating housing and contacts.

5.3.3 Encoder connector
There is one Encoder connector per driver brick – one for each motor axis. Incremental A/B/N encoders with
differential encoder signals are supported. The TMCM-3214 / TMCM-3215 offer on-board differential line receivers
(AM26LV32 or equivalent) with 120R termination resistor per differential signal pair. Differential encoder signals
may be connected via one 8 pin Molex MicroFit™ connector (Molex part no. 43045-0812). Mating connector housing
e.g. Molex 43025-0800, contacts Molex 43030-0007. Please note that there are alternative options available from
Molex for both, mating housing and contacts.
