Re: Electrical Connectors

Hi all, I would second, third, and well, whatever, the power pole idea.
Our team uses them on all motors, and sensors. We used CAN this year and that worked well too.
The idea is that one only has to pull a few (properly labeled so you know where they go) connectors, and the whole electrical board is removable.

This is a great thing when mechanical wants to drill, file, and other wise produce bad stuff that will short your electrical parts out.

The thing I wanted to add is to put a small drop of super glue on the dove tail just before you put them together. That works much better than pins, heat shrink or whatever to hold the connector together.

Do it right once and you will never have to redo it, well, unless software changes where that Jag connects to. lol

Mike
