Dan--T, can you post a photo of the connector you are trying to de-pin? I've been working with some of the Tyco connectors and have some of the puzzle aspects of them worked out.

I'm not sure if we are discussing the same connectors, but the housings for the ones in Damian's Mar 13, 2021 8:07 am post, that fit the outside logic and resolver connectors for the Gen3, are from Tyco Electronics, or TE as the company is now known as. Enlarge the second photo, and "Tyco Elect...

Here are some connectors and Toyota part number for connecting to the Prius/Yaris gen 3 inverter. Still need to find the tails for the small signal wires and the resolver plug. For the resolver plug PN on my Prius C(similar to the Yaris?), I come up with G9266-47010. It is an easy push and snap int...

By all means: show us and tell us how you are doing this!

As this model has the logic and driver functions combined on a single board, would it be easier to go the plug and play separate VCU approach? As with the Lexus GS450H VCU?

Just to clarify: Is this front motor a synchronous(with PMs on or in the rotor) motor or is it an asynchronous(induction) motor with no magnets on or in the rotor?

To be honest, the existence of the buck/boost converter is a total mystery to me as you can achieve the same with field weakening. Want to lower regen current at high rpm -> field weakening. Want to produce torque past base speed -> field weakening. Not sure if the concept was unheard of back when ...

John Kelly, in one of his excellent videos, has some info about the boost/buck starting ~ 1:23 :

I hope none of this is related to the ongoing Gen 3 inverter failure and recall problems showing-up in the US: https://www.latimes.com/local/californi ... story.html

Toyota in the US continued to use the Gen 3 inverter for the Prius C models( 2011-2019 when it was dropped). They switched to the Gen 4 inverters for other car models 2017 onward, as far as I know. This overlap can be confusing. The Prius C(and other models) inverter can be identified by the sloping...

That's what I was afraid of. Again, if someone with a GS450H wiring harness could hunt for the tiny PN(s) on the plug, it might be available like the Gen 3 one Damian just received. Also, sometimes in the service/ part manuals drawings and PNs of the different plug types are listed. I found PNs and ...

Folks, apologies for the confusion I had not updated the partially built section on the webshop. That is now done. The only board available is the V1c. Now I have had several contacts over various platforms recently all asking that I add things like extra part boms, extra software etc to github to ...

Success! Called my local Toyota parts guy just now.PN: G9260-47010 is indeed the connector housing for the inverter. 12.40 Euros each. Ordered from Japan so will take about a week to get here. Damn! i just paid 50 for a scrap version :cry: Do you have some photos of the connector that goes into the...

Is this the one? been searching with no luck atm https://electrotransport.ru/ussr/images/4/timurr.jpeg d In the USA, it looks like this is PN: G9260-47010 (check on the back of your plug for the PN). It might be available in the USA, at least, through Toyota dealers online parts departments, like t...

I use center drills only to predrill and center my holes. Usually you tap your stock to mark there the drill will have center, but your ordinary drill has a problem grabbing small dent in material and can wader off. I use center drill to make this tap deeper. But not more than a mm or so. More than...

This is what Mauswerkz, on his now dormant Blog, did with his GS450H inverter: https://cdn.hackaday.io/images/4500861487049316359.jpg

CNC machined HV terminal posts now available: https://www.evbmw.com/index.php/evbmw-webshop/toyota-built-and-tested-boards/term-posts Can I use the original connection if I have the wiring+connector? I see they are connected to the same two terminals inside the inverter. https://i.imgur.com/bBZfzEu...

Prius Gen 3 MG2 power stage shuts down at 500amps. Yes 500amps.

Are you sure this isn't a graph of how much overwork stress, answering repeated stupid questions, and trying NOT turn this into a business before you shut down?

I may be a yahoo, but definitely not a yoyo. Dr. Damian: Does the patient look like it is hackable?

This Prius unit is small enough to possible use on the 2 and 3 wheel EVs I'm working on. Toyota has proposed since ~2013 to produce an even smaller unit based on SiC semiconductors(like Tesla uses now). Damian, what is the part number(G9200-XXXXX) of the one you have? Is it one for a Prius Prime, th...

In looking through Damian's posts and information, I could not tell if the new replacement Gen 3 logic board operates the boost/buck converter in the inverter. If not, are there plans to include it? Hardware to run it is on the board, but no software is written to run it yet. Read closer Trust me, ...

It looks like some Camry (US model) hybrid inverter logic boards have a similar(the same?) receptacle as the Prius Gen 3 LB for the plug going to the IGBT driver board, and are similar in size. Has anyone tried or know if the replacement logic board would fit in the Camry inverter?

Thank you for your response. Being a 8 pole motor, that I would like to run at 8-10k RPM, does this controller have a high enough stator frequency limit (~600-700Hz)?
