Connector Solutions for Motor Manufacturers

Motor manufacturers need connectors that fit neatly, seal properly and can be supplied in repeat volumes. AP Technology supplies connector solutions to suit motor builds, from compact small frame options through to larger power connectors for bigger machines. Mounting space, cable exit direction and locking method all affect the final design. Scheduled and call-off orders can also support repeat production requirements, helping to keep connector supply in step with the motor build programme. Ytec and its single version, Itec, were designed for small frame motors that still need the technical features of larger M series connectors. They have a mounted height of only 20mm, rotate through 300° after installation, need only one mounting hole in the motor housing, and use an auto locking quick release fastener with an IP66/67 rating. Mechanical and colour coding prevent mismating. Speedtec is a quick lock coupling for M17, M23 and M40 connectors that needs just 1/8th of a turn. Slide on, turn, locked, in under a second.

It is vibration proof, seals to IP66/67, and helps eliminate mis-mating. Speedtec receptacles work with Speedtec plugs as well as standard coupling nut connectors, which helps when an existing machine is being upgraded in stages. Buying is kept straightforward. There is no minimum order value on stocked products, cable can be cut to the lengths you need, and repeat requirements can be placed on scheduled or call-off orders. Custom labels and packaging are also available, which helps when parts are going straight to a production line or out to a site team.
