Introduction
This article is intended to cover 3 topics.
First, the identification of the Mitsubishi Melsec iQ-R- R60AD16-G Analog input cards – connectors\cables.
Second, we will look at the Melsec iQ-R selection tool for selecting the correct type of connectors\cables.
Finally, we will look at the utilization of the Mitsubishi FA eshop for the identification of the cables.

Melsec iQ-R- R60AD16-G Analog input cards – connectors\cable – Conclusions
As per the conclusion of the findings – there are two main options for continuations;
Option 1a: A6CON connectors
This option is a very basic, entry-level option – which consists only of the 40-pin connectors.
These come in two variants, namely, crimp type and solder type.
Option 1b: Premade cable and connector – Open-ended
Whilst these are not the official solution, they are quite popular and utilized in situations where an open-ended cable is required on the front-end (field) side.(Q40CBL-3M)
Option 2: Offical connector/terminal block converter module
This solution consists out of a pre-made cable, with connectors on both sides,used in conjunction with a terminal block;
