I-DRIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL – INSTALLATION PG DRIVES TECHNOLOGY
This connector should only be mated with a dedicated PGDT programming tool, i.e. an SP1, DTT or
Industrial PC programmer. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to
comply with this condition.
3.3 Crimping
Good quality crimping is essential in ensuring the long term reliability of the machine’s electrical system. Poor quality crimps may
initially appear to be satisfactory but, over time, they may cause problems. It is recommended that crimp quality is maintained
by implementing the procedures detailed in IEC-60352-2 1990.
Defective or poor quality crimps may affect the warranty of the controller. PGDT accepts no
liability for losses of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
Hand tools for crimping and extraction are available from Molex. The relevant part numbers are as follows.
Molex ‘Mini-Fit-Jr.’ Crimp tool: 69008-0724 or 63819-0900
Molex ‘Mini-Fit-Jr.’ Extraction tool: 11-03-0044
Only use the exact tool as specified.

PG Drives Technology can supply all the Molex connectors and crimps required by the i-Drive as kit ‘D50319’.
3.4 Wire Gauge and Types
The table below gives the minimum recommended wire sizes for the i-Drive family.
Model Battery Motor Auxiliary 1 Tiller
mm² AWG mm² AWG mm² AWG mm² AWG
i45 2.5 13 2.5 13 0.5 20 0.22 23
i70 4.0 11 4.0 11 0.5 20 0.22 23
i140 10.0 7 10.0 7 0.5 20 0.22 23
i180 16.0 5 16.0 5 0.5 20 0.22 23
The wire gauges of the tiller interface
Fused B+ and 0V connections, pins 7 and 13, may require
increasing if the machine manufacturer wishes to run auxiliary circuits, such as lighting, from
these points.
It is the responsibility of the machine manufacturer to ensure that all wire gauges are suitable for
the intended application.
These recommendations are derived from well proven field experience of various international machine manufacturers.
Nevertheless, manufacturers must confirm these recommendations by carrying out suitable tests. Keep wire lengths as short as
possible.
Battery and motor wires should use Tri-rated PVC equipment wire rated at 105°C.
