## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-4765:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-4765:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This cable is designed to work with Pololu's Micro Metal Gearmotor Encoders [with top-entry connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/magnetic-encoder-pair-kit-with-top-entry-connector-for-micro-metal-gearmotors-12-cpr-2-7-18v.html) and [with side-entry connector](https://core-electronics.com.au/magnetic-encoder-pair-kit-with-side-entry-connector-for-micro-metal-gearmotors-12-cpr-2-7-18v.html). It consists of six twisted 28 AWG color-coded wires that are terminated on both ends by female JST SH-type connectors.

You can use the cable to connect an encoder to Pololu's JST SH-style connector breakout board (available in [top-entry](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-for-jst-sh-style-connector-6-pin-male-top-entry-individually-packaged.html) and [side-entry](https://core-electronics.com.au/breakout-for-jst-sh-style-connector-6-pin-male-side-entry-individually-packaged.html) versions), allowing you to easily access the motor and encoder pins on a standard [solderless breadboard](https://core-electronics.com.au/prototyping/breadboards.html). Alternatively, a cable with two connector breakout boards could serve as a removable general-purpose interconnect between different parts of a modular system.
