PG71 Gearmotor am-0914

[alexander.h]

Hello! In my hands, I have a PG71 Gearmotor am-0914 and I'd like to know how we connect it electrically. Could someone please help us?

According to AM's site:
•Electrical Connection Geometry: 3/16" wide spade connectors (2)
so you could try some female 3/16" spade connectors

EDIT
You said electrically and I responded with mechanically... It just runs off 12 Volts so just like any other motor.

You can solder your wire directly to the terminals as well. We've had success doing it that way.

The terminals aren't that large, so spade connectors can pop off rather easily. Whatever you use, add strain relief.

Soldering is your best bet, with a nice piece of heat-shrink tubing to go over the connection. Hasn't failed me yet!

If you're going to solder to the motor give this thread a quick read first. It's got some good tips from Al Skierkiewicz.

You can connect it to Jaguar, Victor, or Talon motor controller (1 or 2 motors per controller), or Spike relay, per Paragraph 4.8.21 Rule R51 Table 4-4 Page 62 of the 2014 Game Manual (listed in Table as am-2161 motor).
