Trim motor wiring
TLDR
- Wired up connectors for trim motor
Details
I added 2 Delphi connectors for the trim motor to connect to the tail harness.
flowchart TB;
motor["Trim Motor"]-->con1["Female connector"];
subgraph work_done["_"]
con1-->con2["Male connector in HS (tail side)"]
end
con2-->wire["Wire in HS"]
wire-->con3["Female connector in HS (fuselage side)"]
con3-->harness["Male connector in tail harness"]
The wiring inside the HS likely will need to be cut to length when I do the final assembly, so I’m not adding the connectors on the fuselage side just yet.
Female connector on motor
I used the pre-wired connector from Midwest Panel. They have labeled the pin diagram so I just followed.
PIN | Color |
---|---|
A | White |
B | Grey |
C | Orange |
D | Green |
E | Blue |
Male connector on HS
The wire going through HS needs to connect to the motor. It doesn’t have the same color code as the motor though. So here is my pin sequence.
PIN | Color |
---|---|
A | White |
B | Red |
C | Orange |
D | Green |
E | Blue |
Basically, red is grey.
I need to remember this when connector the pins on the other side of the wire.
