Description

This 4-pin interface cable is engineered as a direct replacement for the stock cable supplied with Benewake TF Mini series LiDAR distance sensors. It terminates in a standard Grove connector, providing a reliable and solderless connection to a wide range of development boards and shields that support the Grove ecosystem, significantly accelerating prototyping workflows.

The cable features a 1mm pitch 4-pin connector on the sensor end and a 4-pin Grove connector on the system end. The internal wiring follows the standard UART/TTL pinout required by the TF Mini, with clear color-coding for power, ground, transmit (TX), and receive (RX) lines to prevent connection errors and ensure stable serial communication.

Key Features

  • Precision-engineered replacement cable for TF Mini series LiDAR sensors.
  • Grove-compatible connector for plug-and-play integration with popular prototyping platforms.
  • Clear, industry-standard wire color coding (Red: +5V, Black: GND, White: RX, Green: TX).
  • Optimized 10cm length offers flexibility in sensor mounting and enclosure design.
  • High-quality stranded wire ensures durability through repeated connection cycles.
  • 1mm pitch connector ensures a secure, vibration-resistant fit on the sensor module.

Applications

  • Replacing damaged or lost cables on Benewake TF Mini LiDAR modules in robotics and drone projects.
  • Integrating TF Mini sensors into Grove-based prototyping systems for distance measurement and obstacle avoidance.
  • Creating modular sensing setups for educational platforms, research labs, and product development.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable compatible with both the TF Mini and the TF Mini S LiDAR sensors?

Yes, this replacement cable is designed to be fully compatible with both the Benewake TF Mini and the newer TF Mini S LiDAR distance sensors. Both models use the same 4-pin UART interface and connector footprint, making this cable a direct plug-in replacement for the stock cable on either unit.

What is the wire color code and pinout for this cable?

The cable follows a standard color code: Red wire is for +5V power, Black wire is for Ground (GND), White wire is for Receive (RX), and Green wire is for Transmit (TX). This matches the UART pinout required by the TF Mini sensor. Ensure your host system's Grove connector or UART pins are configured to match this mapping.

Can I use this cable to connect the TF Mini to a non-Grove system, like a standard microcontroller?

Yes. While the system end uses a Grove connector, you can separate the individual wires from the Grove housing to solder or connect them directly to a microcontroller's GPIO pins. You would need to provide a stable 5V power supply and connect the TX/RX lines to the corresponding UART pins on your MCU, respecting the defined color code.
