Schneider BMXFTW301 Flying Lead Cable Modicon M340

Product Overview

The Schneider Electric BMXFTW301 is a 3-meter pre-formed flying lead cordset assembly specifically engineered for Modicon M340 20-pin removable terminal blocks. It simplifies field wiring by providing pre-stripped colored conductors at one end and a rugged 20-pin connector at the other.

Key Specs

• Series: Modicon M340 / Modicon X80
• Cable Length: 3.0 meters (9.84 feet)
• Connector Type: 1x 20-pin removable terminal block to flying leads
• Wire Gauge: AWG 22 (0.34 mm²) color-coded conductors
• Electrical Connection: 20 color-coded flying leads for direct terminal connection
• Weight: 0.43 kg

Why Choose This

• Reduced Installation Time: Eliminates point-to-point harness creation, drastically lowering cabinet wiring labor costs.
• Color-Coded Identification: Features DIN standard conductor coloring for rapid, error-free wiring verification.
• High Mechanical Durability: Molded strain relief protects internal wire joints against continuous industrial vibration.

Common Questions

• Q: Can this cable be used with Modicon X80 I/O modules? A: Yes, it is compatible with standard 20-pin I/O modules across both Modicon M340 and X80 platforms.
• Q: Are the flying lead ends ferruled? A: The flying lead wires are stripped and color-coded, ready for crimping or direct terminal block insertion.

Mounting Steps

1. Ensure all I/O field power is turned off before connecting signal wiring.
2. Plug the 20-pin terminal connector into the front header of the designated M340 I/O module.
3. Tighten the two retaining screws on the terminal block connector to ensure a vibration-proof seal.
4. Route the flying lead cable bundle along wire ducts and land individual wires on field terminal strips.

Buying Advice

• Verify that your selected I/O module uses a 20-pin terminal interface rather than a 40-pin density connector.
• Calculate physical routing distances inside the control enclosure to confirm that a 3-meter cable length is sufficient.
