Would it be the DF13 5 Position connector ?

Be aware that some of the external GPS units have unpopulated pins in the connector -- i.e. 6 pin connector using 5 wires.

Look carefully at the APM connection and the GPS unit, they may/often have different connectors.

I received an APM 2.6 set with a GPS cable that had the wrong end (probably a bad pull when packing). Fortunately I had other 3DR cables and changed the GPS end of the cable. Of course I had to figure out the correct wiring on the connector as one pin was not used.
