The VW3M8217 is a set of five M40 connectors from the Lexium accessory range, designed for building custom power cordsets for Lexium servo motors. The M40 thread size is the standard entry for Lexium motor power cables — this connector mates with the motor's junction box or the cable gland panel opening. Cable cross section is 4 mm² (roughly 12 AWG), which matches the power conductors on typical Lexium motor cables up to the 7 kW frame size. The set-of-5 packaging covers a small line build or a handful of field replacements.
Sourcing decision for the BOM line
If you are holding a line-down situation or a frozen BOM that specifies VW3M8217, the M40 thread and 4 mm² cable capacity are the fit criteria that confirm the connector mates with your existing Lexium motor cable assembly. The set-of-5 quantity means you order in multiples of five connectors.
