Hi:

Anybody have a source for connectors for the PowerMax II stepper motors.

[High Seas]

As I recall there was a member on the 'zone that was selling them. "Jeff" or something like that comes to mind. Try a want ad on the auction site? Its been a bit but there have been some on eBay as well - Hope that helps -- I'll look through my "stuff" and see if I can get closer....

I got mine from Digi Key

Yes, I privated messaged him a number of months ago and never got a reply. From his profile his last post was back in 2004, so I don't think he frequents the board anymore.

That answers the connector source - and that was your question. But assembly for some requires an extra investment I'd rather spend on someone doing the work! $Kaching$

But, if you are interested in the cables use the member look-up and follow thru to his eBay store. Most recent sale was April 2007. You can message him there. (you probably knew this already)
I'm not trying to be a bit of a "Junior Dick" aka GumShoe -- I'll need some too!
Sorry haven't emailed via eBay yet. Keep me posted and I you.

I believe I got mine from Mouser Electronics, I think they were around a dollar each, maybe less.

[Bryanpl]

Do you recall the part number. How is the wire connected to the connector?. Do I need a special tool, or does the wire just snap into the connector?

I got mine from Digi Key

The part number can be found in the PacSci .pdf at the Xylotex site.

Bryan,

The mouser part number is 571-6438135. They are $.23 each at quantity 1 and $.21 each at qty 10.

I made the insertion tool from an small screwdriver. I have attached a picture of the tool that I made and a pdf that gives the specifications for the official tool.

Well, no luck so far. Hasn't responded to private messages on this board or by the way of Ebay.

Gerry:

Links don't work. Do you have the part number for the cover?

[ger21]

I got the number from the .pdf I linked to earlier in the thread, from the Xylotex site. It's at the end of the Powermax II section. Use the AMP number and it will come up at digikey.

Is this the correct connector?:

no.

How did you make the insertion tool, using a dremel ?. Is the insertion tool a necessity or can you use some small jewellery screwdrivers, to work the wire into the connector

I used my manual mill. I don't see why you couldn't use a dremel tool. I tried several times with other tools to do the insertions before I built the tool. Some people have succeeded but I found the tool to be the easiest thing for me. Since I built it I have used it a lot on other MTA-100 connectors.
