Yokogawa KM55-005: 0.5 m Cable for Module-to-Terminal Block Connection
Product Introduction
This cable connects a Yokogawa FA-M3 I/O module to a connector terminal block in the same panel. Engineers order the KM55-005 because connector terminal blocks ship without a cable, so a matched link is mandatory. Specifically, the 0.5 m length suits short runs between adjacent rail sections. Its pin assignment mirrors the module connectors, which removes guesswork during assembly.
Technical Specifications
The KM55-005 measures 0.5 m in cable length, as the suffix code indicates. Moreover, the pin assignment of the screw terminal matches that of the module connectors. Therefore, signals pass point for point without reordering or adapter plates. The cable carries standard FA-M3 I/O signals, and it mates with MIL-compliant 40-pin headers such as the HIF3BA-40PA-2.54DSA (71). Additionally, the assembly stays flexible enough for tight cabinet bends.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
Cable Length: 0.5 m
Operating Temperature: 0 to 55°C
Storage Temperature: -20 to 75°C
Humidity: 10 to 90% RH (non-condensing)
Atmosphere: Free of corrosive gases, flammable gases, and heavy dust
Compatibility Note
Connector terminal blocks such as the TA50 series do not include a cable, so you must select one from the Yokogawa list. For instance, the KM55-005 covers short distances, while longer variants serve wider cabinets. Additionally, always confirm that the module connector type matches the cable header before ordering.
Installation Guide
First, power down the FA-M3 rack and follow lockout procedures. Next, plug one end of the KM55-005 into the I/O module connector until the latch clicks. Then, route the cable along the panel path and keep it clear of power lines. After that, connect the other end to the terminal block header. Finally, tug both ends gently to confirm seating, then restore power and check signal continuity.

FAQ
Q1: Why do I need a separate cable for the terminal block?
A1: Yokogawa connector terminal blocks ship without a cable. Therefore, you must order a cable such as the KM55-005 to link the module and the block.
Q2: What is the length of the KM55-005 cable?
A2: The KM55-005 measures 0.5 m, which the suffix code "005" indicates. This length suits short runs between adjacent rail sections in a panel.
Q3: Does the pin assignment match the module?
A3: Yes. The pin assignment of the screw terminal matches that of the module connectors. Consequently, signals route point for point without adapters.
Q4: Which terminal blocks work with this cable?
A4: The cable mates with connector terminal blocks that use the HIF3BA-40PA-2.54DSA (71) header. Meanwhile, confirm your block model, since some modules are excluded from terminal block use.
Q5: Can I use a longer cable instead?
A5: Yes. Yokogawa offers longer cable variants in the same series. Choose a length that fits your cabinet layout, and keep the run away from high-power wiring.
