The VW3A98LBPC3 is a motor terminal extension kit — a connection accessory for the Altivar Process Modular drive family, designed for single-drive architectures where the motor cables terminate in box-lugs rather than ring terminals or ferrules.
For a Tier-1 automotive line engineer who needs full part genealogy and zero-defect traceability, a mature-stage part with active status is a stable BOM line — no PCN risk, no forced re-qualification.
What the box-lug interface means on the line
Box-lug terminations are common on larger-gauge motor cables (typically 50 mm² and up) where a crimp lug is bolted into a compression pocket. This extension kit preserves the same interface when the drive is mounted in a panel with limited cable-bend radius — it moves the termination point outward so the cable doesn't stress the drive busbar.
