Tyco Electronics has simplified the installation and maintenance of wind power turbines by introducing the HM.16 motor-mount connector.
The connector consists of a cast-aluminium housing that accepts various inserts from the HTS industrial connector family, an interface seal for IP65 protection, and a nickel-plated steel locking lever.
The housing is available in several sizes to fit standard motor cutouts, so that no motor redesign is required.
The mounting footprint can be adjusted to fit the motor's dimensions, up to 140mm x 140mm.
Installation and maintenance can be done quickly and safely without the need to check wiring diagrams.
The housings can be ordered in a range of colours to allow identification of the motor by function or application such as yaw motor or azimuth motor.
Options include the standard powder-coated finish, a corrosion-resistant finish and a shielded version for where additional EMI protection is required.
The HM.16 motor housing is a compact, size 6 form factor within the HTS connector family.
The full range of inserts includes typical high-current/voltage circuits covering 150A/250 A/5000 V, 1 to 25-position power and control signal inserts, coax and Twinax, Ethernet, and many others.
