Ublox GPS connector

Posted by gustyk! on December 30, 2014 at 12:21pm

Hi All, 
I have the UBOX GPS for the APM 2.6 I purchased from banggood.com

When I plugged the connector on the GPS side, the 6-pin block broke. 


 After pounding my fist against the table several time, I realized the other two connectors on the right, share the same signals; therefore, there is a chance I can add 2x 4-pin connectors, replacing the 6-pin. 

My question is, what's the name of those 4-pin connectors? I was told (in RCGROUPS) the connector is DF13, however, the connector on the UBOX LEA -6H board is narrower and keyed. It is similar to the DF13 series, but definitely, not the same.

Any ideas where to get those connectors/cables?

All the suppliers selling cables for these GPS offer the 6-pin connector in one end and two connectors in the other end (2-pin and 4-pin)

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Did you damage the pads on the board when the connector broke off? Why not just re-solder the connector to the board? I know it's small, but it is possible. I know because I broke a connector off my ArduIMU+ V2 board a few years back.

      Hi Nataniel, Yes. I tried that but the connector dragged the tin pads off the PCB board. Thanks anyways!

      Richard,  congratulations! You got an A+ in irony. and D- in adding value to this thread.

      The (pricing) reasons for selecting one or other vendor are going beyond the scope of this forum. Thank you for your understanding.

      Happy new year,
