I just received in the mail today a REX motor With encoder and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get a 5 pin plug and lead to suit the encoder pins on the motor
Steve
Zagros robotics sells the rex motors so you might want to check to see if they also sell the encoder cables?
@ Steve, on these motor/encoders I use Molex 5 way header crimp housings here is a link.

HaHa....I don't own one of these motors but there is something about it that I really like for some reason....

Thanks Richard & Tony.
As it turns out, Zagros Robotics do sell encoder cables..... DOH! I didn't think to look before I placed the order a few weeks ago. I decided to buy the crimp housings and crimp pins locally from Element14 as Tony suggested. I can get enough bits to make up multiple leads any length I want and It will end up costing me the same as buying one pre made lead (when you factor in the lead, freight and exchange rate from the States)

Steve, I use these headers and plugs for almost all connections in my robots. Any investment in a crimping tool will be well worth it if you are making a big robot.

I am planing to make a mobile unit
How quiet is that motor?
Their motor noise is not too bad, you can hear it at various speeds in this video.
