Yamaha KAS-M5163-30 RPB Terminator (Dummy Connector) Description

Functions

Provides secure termination without signal transmission; designed for connectors needing protection or dust prevention in unused ports; used in audio, data, and electrical systems; interfaces with standard connector ports and does not require active device operation; used for maintaining network or system integrity when ports are not active or needed; often utilized in studio, broadcast, or industrial environments to prevent foreign object contamination or damage.

Platforms

Designed for Yamaha surface mount technology (SMT) assembly lines and pick-and-place equipment requiring termination of unused electrical connections. Operates within automated PCB manufacturing environments where signal integrity and electromagnetic interference suppression are critical. Interfaces with standard SMT feeders and placement heads through compatible mechanical mounting systems. Connects to PCB pads via reflow soldering processes at temperatures between 230-260°C. Compatible with lead-free solder profiles and nitrogen atmosphere ovens. Provides electrical termination for differential pairs, unused I/O lines, and floating nodes in high-frequency digital circuits to prevent crosstalk and maintain impedance matching.

Applications

Designed as a dummy connector (terminator) for the RPB interface, this component is used to maintain proper termination and signal integrity when the programming box RPB is disconnected during operation. It interfaces with Yamaha robot controllers such as RCX221, RCX222, and RCX240, ensuring stable communication and preventing signal reflection or interference on the RPB connector line within the robot control system. Commonly applied in environments where the programming box is removed to enable direct controller operation without disruption.

Accessories

accessories The KAS-M5163-30 is a terminator (dummy connector) used with Yamaha RCX series robot controllers and is designed to be plugged into the PB connector when the programming box is not connected, preventing communication faults. It is identified as a PBX terminator or dummy connector plug and ensures proper signaling termination. The connector type is specific to the controller’s I/O interface, which typically includes the standard I/O connector with model KAS-M533G-00 and option I/O connectors. The dummy terminator maintains circuit integrity but does not provide active connections[2][5].

Interfaces

The KAS-M5163-30 is an RPB terminator (dummy connector) designed to be attached to the RPB connector when the programming box RPB is removed. It serves as a dummy load to maintain proper line termination in the controller’s communication interface and does not provide additional active connections. The RPB connector interfaces are compatible with RCX221, RCX222, and RCX240/S controllers. The physical connection involves typical multi-pin connectors designed for line termination in robot controllers, with no additional signals or I/O functions provided by the terminator itself[2][3][4][5].

Specifications

Designed as a dummy connector (terminator) for the RPB connector on industrial robot controllers to maintain proper electrical termination and signal integrity when the programming box is disconnected; operates within Yamaha single-axis robot controller systems, ensuring stable communication and preventing signal disturbances. It physically connects to the RPB port, mimicking presence of the programming box, available with cable lengths typically 3 m to 10 m, compatible with RCX221/RCX222/RCX240 controllers, and used primarily during operation without the programming interface connected to avoid open-circuit issues.
