Description

This DF13 6-pin cable serves as a critical interconnect within professional and DIY drone builds, facilitating clean and reliable communication between the main flight controller and essential navigation sensors. Its construction utilizes flexible, temperature-resistant silicone wire, which maintains integrity during vibration and thermal cycling common in UAV operation.

The standardized Hirose DF13 connector ensures a positive lock and consistent pin alignment, preventing connection failures mid-flight. This cable is a fundamental component for assembling ArduPilot or PX4-based autopilot systems, enabling precise data transfer for accurate positioning and flight control.

Key Features

  • Hirose DF13 6-pin connector with secure locking mechanism.
  • 200mm length with 26AWG stranded copper conductors for optimal current capacity and flexibility.
  • Silicone jacket insulation rated for high-temperature operation and excellent vibration damping.
  • Gold-plated contacts minimize signal loss and resist corrosion over time.
  • Color-coded wires (Red & Black) assist in correct polarity identification during installation.
  • Direct plug-and-play compatibility with Pixhawk-series flight controller GPS and telemetry ports.

Applications

  • Wiring GPS/Compass modules (e.g., Here+, M8N, M9N) to Pixhawk-series flight controllers.
  • Connecting telemetry radio modules (3DR, Holybro) to flight controller telemetry ports.
  • Providing power and signal links between a flight controller and external receiver or sensor hubs in custom multirotor builds.
  • Use in fixed-wing UAVs and rovers utilizing ArduPilot or PX4 autopilot stacks for peripheral integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flight controllers is this DF13 6-pin cable compatible with?

This cable is directly compatible with flight controllers using the standard Hirose DF13 6-pin port for GPS/Compass modules, including Pixhawk 1/2/2.4x, Cube series, and older APM 2.x or PX4 boards. It connects the flight controller's dedicated GPS port to compatible GPS/Compass units like the Here+, M8N, or M9N modules.

Can this cable be used for connections other than GPS?

Yes. While primarily designed for GPS connections, the standardized 6-pin DF13 connector is also used for telemetry radio modules (e.g., 3DR Radio, Holybro SiK). Ensure the pinout (voltage, ground, TX, RX) matches your specific module's requirements before connecting, as configurations can vary between manufacturers.

What is the wire gauge and is the cable flexible?

The cable uses 26 AWG stranded copper wires with a silicone insulation jacket. This combination provides sufficient current capacity for sensor power while offering excellent flexibility and vibration resistance, making it ideal for routing within tight drone frames where movement and heat are factors.
