The homing and limiting sensor connectors of STEP400/STEP800 are JST XA. This style of connection is handy, readily available, and easy to attach, detach, and extend.
It is, however, necessary to crimp the terminals to the cable if you are making this connector at home. Crimping the terminals requires a bit of experience and some tools, which can be a hurdle for smaller projects. Because of this we are providing a cable with a connector crimped on one end as an add-on option. The other end of the cable is cut off and can be used to solder any sensor or switch.
