Through-Hole Vibration Motors

All of the through hole vibration motors listed here are supplied with mounting brackets designed for though-hole PCB mount.   Depending on the motor model, the motor will have only through hole pins or a combination of  through-hole pins & wire leads to power the motor.  Generally speaking, the through hole pins are available in two lengths (1.6mm or 3.2mm) to accommodate standard or thick multi-layer printed circuit boards. Vibration motors with wire leads can be supplied  with any one of our standard connectors on the leads (see figure below), or we can install a connector of your choosing at the factory.  We can also fabricate custom brackets to your specifications.

Soldering Guidelines:    We ONLY recommend that a “selective soldering” system or hand soldering be used to mount these to the PCB.   Recommended soldering temperature is 175 to 200 C  (350 to 400 F) , with the minimum time required to properly flow the solder through the eyelet and form a normal solder fillet.  Warranty will be VOIDED if any other method is used. These motors can be damaged if they are “Reflow soldered”  and we recommend against using this process.  These motors can be damaged by liquids.   PCB’s with vibration motors mounted can not be washed, sprayed with flux or any other chemicals.  Wave soldering can not be used for coreless vibration motors because wave soldering requires all internal motor components to be heat resistant, but this is not the case.  At the temperatures required for wave soldering the motor’s magnet can demagnetize, coil windings loosen / deform and the oil on the bearing and the glue evaporate, all of which can result in degraded performance or total motor failure.
