Mounting plate for 16-pin receptacle for Grove

The mounting plate is a structural component designed to support a 16-pin electrical receptacle in Grove machinery. It provides a stable base for the connector, ensuring it remains fixed in place to maintain the integrity of electrical signals and power transmission to various control and operation subsystems. By securing the receptacle, this plate helps protect the connection from movement and mechanical stress during machine operation.

This component, identified by part number 9333102031, is engineered for use in Grove equipment. It features specific mounting holes for attachment to the machine frame and a dedicated opening to accommodate the 16-pin connector. The design ensures precise alignment with both the equipment structure and the electrical interface, facilitating a secure installation.

Mounting plates of this type serve as the interface between electrical connectors and the chassis or housing of heavy machinery. They are used to organize and protect wiring junctions, ensuring that connectors remain accessible yet shielded from the surrounding environment. Proper installation of the mounting plate is necessary to prevent the receptacle from loosening, which could otherwise lead to intermittent electrical faults or signal loss in sensors and control circuits.
