# Physical Specifications
## Alignment Notch
The WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) features an alignment notch to help with clocking the 1/2" Hex shaft, an LED light pipe to display the state of the encoder, and a 6-pin Molex SL female connector for simplified wiring.
## Overall Dimensions
The WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) is designed to have a minimal footprint while giving teams a practical mounting solution with the mounting bolt location being 1" from the center of the 1/2" hex bore. This means that the encoder is in line with WCP's [1/2" Pitch Spacing ](/welcome/frc-build-system/system-standards.md#id-1-2-pitch-spacing)Standards. \
\
In addition, there is a 3/8" hex counterbore on either side of this mount hole, allowing it to hold a standard #10-32 nylock nut in place, eliminating the need for a wrench to hold a nut in place when mounting the sensor.
## Port Overview
The 6-pin Molex SL port allows you to power the WCP ThroughBore by CANcoder (1/2" Hex) while having CAN Input and CAN output in the same housing, making daisy chaining a breeze.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/electronics/wcp-throughbore-by-cancoder-1-2-hex/overview-and-features/physical-specifications.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
