Power connections for Keyang motors

[aeasson]

Does anyone know where to get the power connectors for the Keyang motors?

Or do we just break off the plastic around the contacts and fabricate our own style connector.

They were supplied in the KOP. You will have to attach wires to the pins .

See section 10.2.5.10 in the KOP REV A .pdf for a picture of what they look like.

There is only a connector for the 16627960 (or 61), the KoP checklist misleadingly shows two connectors.
See section G.5.2 DC Motors, "Special Notes on Motors"

Hope this helps, it took us a while to figure out that we have to make our own connector for the 16631023 Keyang.

i believe you can get one at a junkyard, but its a lot easier to dremel off the plastic and make your own...we've done that in the past

We just got rid of the plastic around the connector and soldered a pigtail on (plus heat shrink tubing).

a mentor and I just went to some local autopart stores to see if we could find the right hook-up for the -023 motor and we believe we found a match. If you all still need to find this part, go to your local autopart store and tell them part number EC86, it looks very, very, very close to the hook-up required for it.

Just thought I would let everyone else know in good sportsmanship:D
