DF13 Connectors Pixhawk

Posted by Bryan Anderson on April 15, 2014 at 7:23am

So I want to make my own DF13 connectors for my Pixhawk. Specifically to make them longer or smaller. I found a website that sells the connectors:

http://www.mouser.com/Connectors/Headers-Wire-Housings/DF13-Series/_/N-ay0lo?P=1z0wxp7Z1yzmsmsZ1yzv7x1&Ns=Number%20of%20Positions%20/%20Contacts|0

What kind of wire would I use (Guage, stranded, non-stranded) and or tools would I need?

  Get yourself some pre-crimped cables and connectors from Digi-key, they stock cables in a range of lengths and colours.

    I went to their website, but when I look at what they have, I can't tell how many connectors each one has. All they have is length, color, wire size.

        oh wait... I just figured out that my pixhawk contain "JST-1.25" instead of "DF13".
        
        As far as I remember I have Pixhawk 2.4.5 . Is it ok?
        
        I'm lost, anybody help me please. :)

        Stan is it a genuine 3DR pixhawk or a clone.
        
        Maybe post up some images.

        I bought it from ebay or amazon, don't really remember. I assuming that this is clone, didn't know that there are different connectors between clone and original 3DR versions of pixhawk

        Hey Martin,
        
        Those connectors doesn't works with latest Pixhawk :( . Just bought some and they don't feet because of little sockets (square form instead of linear)
        
        Do you know the right model? Thanks
