The motor power cable assemblies are interchangeable in only two cases:
1) Between SGMG & SGMGH series motors
2) Between SGMS & SGMSH series motors.
The connectors on the SGM and SGMAH look similar, but they are not the same. The SGMP series motor uses a MS style connector, however, the MS part number (size) is unique and not used elsewhere. The SGMPH series motor uses Interconnectron connectors which are not compatible with any other YEA offering.
The encoder cables are NEVER interchangable between the Sigma I and Sigma II series.
Bottom Line: When upgrading to SGMGH or SGMSH motors from their Sigma I counterparts, hang on to the old power cables...they make great spares!
