Project Number P X 22 R - 2 This project is being developed by Project X-22 Racing team for use in Cal Club SCCA racing. The intent of Project X-22 Racing is to design and develop limited production creations associated with our automotive racing efforts. The 3D printed Prototype Mil Spec Connector Support Bracket is the first generation support bracket designed to suspend mil-spec connectors from frame tubes in a race car. This Prototype Mil Spec Connector Support Bracket is printed in a environmentally friendly plastic PLA (Poly Lactic Acid). The Problem Race cars are subject to high frequency vibration; this bracket is designed to remove some of the vibration from the electrical connections. In some race cars the mil-spec connector is zip tied directly to the frame tube. This practice leaves the mil-spec connector and frame tube in a metal on metal contact. The Design Solution The Prototype Mil Spec Connector Support Bracket is designed to isolate the mil-spec connector from the frame. In addition, it reduces vibration transmitted into the mil-spec connection. The Prototype Mil Spec Connector Support Bracket provides a stable four hole mounting surface for the mil-spec connector flange. When the mil-spec connector is fasten to the Bracket it provides a solid position, enabling easy connect and disconnect. In addition, the Bracket facilitates easy pin alignment during reassembly. The Bracket is easily installed using a single zip-tie that passes through a channel in the body of the Bracket. This design element allows the zip-tie to grasp the frame tube and be locked in place. Project X-22 Racing is offering a printed Prototype Mil Spec Connector Support Bracket for only $3.00, shipping not included. In addition, the STL file is FREE.
