Description

This DF13 5-pin cable serves as a critical communication link within drone avionics, providing a standardized interface for UART, I2C, or serial telemetry signals. Its construction utilizes flexible, high-temperature silicone insulation over 26AWG stranded copper conductors, ensuring reliable signal integrity and resistance to vibration and heat in demanding flight environments.

The Hirose DF13 connector series is chosen for its compact footprint and secure locking mechanism, preventing accidental disconnection during flight. This cable is a fundamental component for building ArduPilot or PX4-based drones, enabling clean and organized wiring between the main flight controller and essential navigation sensors.

Key Features

  • Hirose DF13 5-pin connector ensures a secure, industry-standard connection.
  • Flexible, high-temperature silicone wire jacket resists cracking and melting.
  • 26AWG stranded conductors provide a balance of current capacity and flexibility.
  • 20cm length offers optimal routing flexibility within standard drone frames.
  • Standardized pinout compatible with Pixhawk, APM 2.x, and PX4 flight controller series.
  • Essential for establishing clean serial communication buses.

Applications

  • Connecting GPS/Compass modules (e.g., Here+, M8N, M9N) to Pixhawk-series flight controllers.
  • Wiring telemetry radios (3DR, Holybro) to APM or PX4 autopilots for ground station communication.
  • Linking external peripherals like airspeed sensors or rangefinders to flight controller UART ports.
  • General-purpose serial communication wiring within ArduPilot or PX4-based drone builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flight controllers is this DF13 5-pin cable compatible with?

This cable is directly compatible with flight controllers using the Hirose DF13 5-pin serial port standard, primarily the Pixhawk series (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), older APM 2.x boards, and PX4-based autopilots. It is designed for the GPS/Compass port or general-purpose telemetry UART connections.

Can this cable be used to connect a telemetry radio?

Yes, this DF13 5-pin cable is commonly used to connect telemetry radios (such as Holybro or 3DR style modules) to the designated telemetry port on a Pixhawk or compatible flight controller. Ensure the radio's pinout matches the flight controller's UART TX/RX assignments.

What is the wire gauge and is the cable flexible?

The cable uses 26AWG stranded conductors wrapped in a silicone insulation jacket. This combination provides sufficient current capacity for signal lines while offering excellent flexibility, making it easy to route within tight spaces in a drone frame without stressing the connectors.
